Anyone try using the cans of aerosol/foam insulation that Home Depot sells to insulate holding tanks? Be gentle!

Sounds like the voice of a bad experience.  Did you break a line from the foam expansion/hardening?

Insulating the tanks doesn't help much unless they have access to a source of heat. Only the warmth of the fluids entering and any biological action in the tanks are the natural heat sources for the tanks in a Lazy Daze. Ideally, ducting furnace air past the tanks or using electric heating strips UNDER any insulation is a prerequisite.
