Thermoshield is equivalent up to R-value 22 because of its reflective qualities. Coating the outside of your dome will keep it cooler inside and protect the fabric from UV, thus extending the life of your dome cover. When applied to the inside of the dome, it reflects heat back in and can cut utility use by 1/3.
