I have a metal garage door facing the afternoon sun, and my garage is situated directly under a part of the upstairs living quarters (master bedroom, specifically) - the inside of the garage door is unbearable to touch during the afternoon.

So I bought a roll of that radiant barrier stuff, basically it's bubble wrap with a layer of mylar on either side of it.

Now... how do I stick it to my garage door? I was thinking 3M 90 but that stuff is only adhesive up to about 140F and then wants to get sloppy.

Any other ideas? HVAC tape?
