I used two types, a foil encapsulated foam called EZ Cool from LoBucRod on the open flat areas of the interior http://www.lobucrod.com/ and B-Quiet which is like a Dynamat product inside the doors http://www.b-quiet.com/testimonials.html. If you read the EZ Cool data they specifically say that this is not the foil bubble wrap from the hardware store. The foil/foam is installed with spray contact cement, and the B-Quiet is peel & stick.

 

Peel& Seal is an asphalt based roofing product, and Dynamat is butyl based sound deadener. While they look a lot alike, they are not the same thing. You have to look at the specs for each one to do a proper comparison. I personally think Dynamat is over priced, and rspears has found some of the better alternatives.

 

i have used the B-quiet product. Peel n stick product on my 1961 Dodge Lancer. After about 7 yrs a few edges were lifting slightly

Also used it on a stainless steel sink for the kitchen. The B-quiet really reduced the sink noise when the disposal was running

 

Best price I found on the stuff

it is the same bulk pack less Chips face and hype on the cover check the details. Dynamat in a plain box.

 

I used the "Peel & Seal" on my Maverick, works great! The only downside I can see is if it ever needs to be removed it will require a ton of work to get it off...

The problem with peal and seal is that it is not designed for vertical surfaces. If you use it on doors or the roof the sun's heat will soften the asphalt adhesive and it will eventually fail. I suppose you could use it on the floor without too many problems but there is no way I would use it on vertical surfaces at all. The butyl based stuff won't soften so much in the heat and is in the end a much better, although much more expensive choice.

I was concerned with that. I saw another post (on another site) someone said that when exposed to heat it will come loose and eventually fail, also someone said it oozes a tar like mess when it gets hot.That would be nice to see on a brand new headliner.
Thanks centerline, I have not made my choice, but it wont be peal and seal, thats for sure. :thumbup:

 

Think about it. Peel and Seal is intended to be used on the roof of a building with support underneath it. Just like Centerline said, it is not intended to be used on vertical surfaces, or worse, overhead with no support under it at all. I would think in a hot climate it would be a terrible choice. Remember, these products are intended to be used for sound deadening, not for heat resistance. None of the products mentioned say they are solely for heat resistance. Heat resistance, if it happens at all, is an afterthought, not the main intention of any of these products.

 

Exactly Dan , that is why I asked. I saw posts pro and con. I was trying to figure out if it is a good Idea, doesnt appear to be.I wont be using it.
rs spears suggested E Z cool. I am leaning real hard in that direction.

 

I used a peel and seal foil insulated product from Bob Drake when I built the coupe . It was not real expensive and no problem hearing the stereo or convesation.

if dan says its a no-go, i wouldnt use :nono:

i know this has come up before, if you search it there will be some good reading :thumbup:

 

how about fatmat

 

I used the DynaMat
IMHO ... it works great and it worth the $$$.

I also used Lizard Skin.

The DynaMat works great for the sound and heat and the Lizard Skin is for the heat. Lizard Skin also has a sound formula.

It gets HOT here in the HOT, HUMID South ... and I wanted the 32 3W quiet and COOL inside. I have the DynaMat and the Lizard Skin everywhere. The roof, the doors, the floors and even the trunk area.

The 3W is quiet and is easy to cool with the Vintage Air Generation Mini II

Go here for the Lizard Skin info web page

I used Peal and Seal on two different cars.

The first was a dark colored coupe....It pealed off the doors and back of the cab....NOT GOOD !!!!!

The second car was a lighter color. I put two strips in the door just to test it......It pealed off when the car sat out in the sun. And that is in Northern Wisconsin....NOT GOOD !!!!

If you live South of the North Pole.... DON'T USE IT !!!

Cheap doesn't always work !

how about fatmat

FatMat is about a third of the price of Dynamat. It is a rubber compound ( The butyl in Dynamat is also a rubber compound) of some kind with a foil face. I don't know why it wouldn't work well also. Remember to look at the specs. The thickness of the sound deadening compound and the thickness of the foil face are what to use for comparison.

 

More important to check is the density (weight/sq ft.).

 

Yes, if FatMat published those specs. Dynamat is 1.7MM thick, or 67mils thick including the 4mil foil layer with a weight of .45 lbs. per square foot.

FatMat says its product is 50 mils thick without saying how thick the foil layer is or its weight per square foot. So FatMat is about 75% as thick as Dynamat Extreme.

 

A good thread to search for is the "Lizard skin alternatives." It covers a bunch of options for floors etc.

 

check rattle trap on ebay. Made by fat mat. Quite a bit cheeper.

 

Rattle trap looks real good. It is thin enough I could still use Jute under the factory carpet and have the benefit of the noise/heat reduction of the mat.
Good lookin out 65.
Thanks to all the guys who contributed. :thumbup:
I am still on the fence but I like the rattle trap the best of all at this point. It has its own adhesive and is very thin , also not as expensive as dynamat.

 

Dynamat 10455 Xtreme Bulk Pack 9 Sheets is 36 square ft.

Rattle trap talks about thickness no coverage information, you see anything on that?

 

Yeah Pepi, it is 159 bucks for 100 square feet.I didnt see a price on the EZ cool.
Dynamat sells a 9 sheet pack that covers 36 square feet that costs 229 bucks.So its more expensive, at least that is the eastwood price, it may be a little cheaper elsewhere.

I am just passing information to you, found this when I built the wife's 32, how about 124 on the Dynamat here :

Cool. Thanks Pepi. It pays to shop around, just like mama said. :thumbup:

 

Letech,
That amazon has some goofy stuff, I find car related supplies and parts all the time, you do as you do with the ebay, know you brands. It is a decent bookmark to have on hand for a reference if for no other reason.
