I want to use a SonoTube as an access port for an underground valve. The
valve will be about 4' under ground. I thought if I painted the ST and
wrapped it in plastic it would hold up much better. It won't last a thousand
years, but it should meet my needs. I'll insulate the Tube to prevent
freezing.

Any ideas on the best way to mummify my Tube?

Thought off the cuff...

Dig hole bigger diameter than tube. Put in tube. Pour concrete on outside
of tube. Leave or remove tube when dry. Now you have concrete lined wall
hole. May go the 1k years.

Why not use use an actual underground valve box?
Look here: http://www.doityourself.com/invt/8483505

It can be cut/modified to suit your needs. Beats a sonotube.
