Answer:

What is he using glue on? Buy rolled fiberglass insulation, install it between the rafters and wall studs...paper side in. You can cover the walls and ceiling with drywall, OSB, plywood if you wish. You do realize that insulating your shed isn't going to make it much/any cooler don't you? You will need an air conditioner for that, but the insulation will help keep the AC in.
Sorry Insulating alone is not going to work.You;re going to need some kind of heater.
I'm assuming that it's open at the ceiling.You could put in a drop ceiling to hold the heat further down.If it's damp you may want to make sure the area between the ceiling an roof are well ventilated.You could then place insulation on top of your drop ceiling so there's a barrier to hold down heat.
florida fan nailed it. You can't JUST insulate and solve the problem. Insulating only keeps IN a desired temperature once it is introduced. Once the source of temperature change on the inside is gone, the space will gradually take on the temperature of the surrounding environment. You will absolutely need a heat source in order for the insulation to do its job.
I would look at using the pink insulation if it will fit between the tin roof and the under it, If not, you may have to remove the wood to install the insulation.
