Aluminum foil as insulation for substitution
Hi, new member here with a question to ease my paranoia. A little background-- I had a drug test this past Saturday and I did not smoke for ten days prior. I took an at-home test and passed the night before, but to be extra safe (as my test was in the morning), I drank three cups of water before going to take the test. I ate red meat for days prior to boost creatinine levels and took lots of vitamins including super B complex with vitamin C. Unfortunately, the lab called yesterday and told me I have to retest today because my sample was too diluted. Even more unfortunately, I thought I was in the clear and smoked for three days after my first failed test. A second home test affirmed that I will definitely not pass the the follow up with my own urine.
On the plus side, my wife agreed to let me use her urine (which is definitely clean). My test is at 6 pm, and I plan to go home about 4:30 to make preparations. I have a small plasic tube (an old baby bottle) that I wrapped in several layers of aluminum foil. Hopefully this will hold in the heat, though I am mainly still worried about the temperature. The testing site is about ten minutes from where we live, and I plan to keep the sample immersed in a coffee mug full of hot water. I will then pull off before I get to the lab and transfer the tube to between my legs. It should only be ten minutes or so from the time I pull in to the time I submit my sample--hopefully less since they already have my information on file. I was not observed the first time so it should be simple. However, I don't know if they will change up the procedure since I had a questionable first trial.
The main thing I am worried about is keeping the sample at temperature. Will the foil keep the heat in adequately? Or will it actually work against me, keeping my body heat from affecting the sample? My wife offered a meat thermometer but there is nowhere to store it and it does not seem accurately calibrated. I'm basically going in hoping the temperature stays high enough in the short period I have described. Does anyone see a flaw in my plan? Any other suggestions for pulling this off? It is for a pre-employment screening and I really need this job to support my family. Thanks.

Are you going to be able to crouch that baby bottle well enough to not look suspicious? Seems like a awful big bottle to try and carry between your legs... The required testing amount is only 2oz, but the tester may ask for a little more. I think the baby bottle may be overkill for you. If I were you I would go to walmart and find yourself a travel shampoo bottle(flat sided), some hand warmers, and baby thermometer strip that you can attach to the bottle. The hand warmers will ensure that the sample stays in temperature range. I don't think that the tin foil will be sufficient and could become quite noisy. If you decide to go my route, make sure that you wash the shampoo bottle out thoroughly before you add the urine.

Thanks for the reply. The baby bottle is a two-ounce round tube made for breast-feeding. I practiced a little by walking around at home and you can't see it under jeans and two layers of tight boxer briefs (though my wife said it makes me look like I have a big package!). I may also bring a baby thermometer and make sure it is 10-15 degrees over body temperature before I go in so it cools while it's down under.

That should work fine then... Go easy on the temperature increase, you don't want to pour it in the cup that hot or you'll be screwed. The collector will accept the sample between 90-100 degrees, but to avoid suspicion, try to get between 96-98.

hand warmers from your local outdoors sports store, wrap them around bottle, and put inside wool socks with saggy jeans on the outside
