Wasted $300 on a fancy insulation spray foam kit

I tried to save money by buying a cheap DIY spray foam kit from a hardware store for my container home walls. It expanded way too fast and made a huge mess, plus I only got about half the coverage it claimed. Anyone have a better method for insulating those tight corners in a shipping container?

Did you try yelling at it while it was expanding? I've heard that helps control the foam's behavior. But seriously, that stuff is just a scam for DIY folks like us. I ended up just stuffing closed-cell foam board in all the weird spots and called it a day.

My friend Karen bought three cans and ended up burning one with a torch, @briannguyen, so she just cried instead.
