    I am currently looking for a inexpensive sound deader for my 51 car. I read about a roofing product that works well, and its cheap than dynomat. Has anybody used it, some like it some says it stinks

    I used a product called Fat man "rattle trap", it works out to being about half the price of Dynamat. Bought it on evilbay.

    Peel and seal is great. There is no lingering odor at all

    I used FatMat Rattle Trap Extreme, cheap and seems to be working good.

    Based on earlier readings on the HAMB, I've been planning to use it on the interior of my Falcon; but I'll monitor here just to make sure I don't learn anything new.

    Fatmat is an affordable alternative to Dynomat that is intended for automotive use; it also gets good reviews.

    I used the peal and seal in my truck and would recommend it highly.
     
  9. I used fat mat in my El Camino and it works great.

    I used Frost King insulation from Lowes in an OT car. No smell, easy to work with, adhesive on one side. My interior guy had no problem using spray glue over the top of the foil to hold my carpet in place where needed. I used three rolls to do a mid size late 60's coupe. A year and a half later and NO problems with it. One thing I did do was use some 3m spray adhesive on the adhesive side of the mat and in the car to make sure I had a tight bond, basically doubled the adhesive.

    I used the same matting from Lowes and am real happy with it. Put it in double thick and its real quiet.

    I used the Home Depot brand in my 50 Ford coupe wife's 51 Chevy 53 Henry J and my 66 GMC truck. At the time it was $12 a roll. It works pretty well although the Ford gets pretty hot where the exhaust runs and without carpet my boot removed the aluminum in the spot where it rests where the gas pedal is. I think two rolls did my truck and 3 did the Ford. It holds really well and once it's stuck to itself it's hard to remove and leave some of it behind.

    I get the Peel and Seal where I work at employee discount.

    Used a small beveled edge metal roller to press it in place and you can't get it back up! Read the specs back and forth between the products and am very satisfied............

    I used the lowes stuff before, no smell. The only problem is when you put it on the roof, it tends to fall down in the hot sun.

    I personally prefer raamat. I've seen peel n seal fail some heat and adhesion tests. If I was super tight on money I might consider it for a horizontal floor surface but would not use it on overhead or vertical surfaces.

    I like the peel and seal and the fatmat. It all depends on your budget. You can't go wrong with either. The only complaint I have with peel and seal is the 6" wide roll. If it was 12" it would be perfect. A lil 3M adhesive on the vertical areas is a good idea.

    I'm thinking of doing this in my wife's '50 Ford. Can I use it inside doors and on the roof inside? I kinda want this far to be quiet and somewhat comfy to drive for her.
     
  23. Some great ideas here. I just did Dynamate on a customers car. Nice stuff, but VERY pricey!

    Meh... I use roll-on truck bedliner. It is an excellent sound deadener, insulator and rustproofer.

    I did, but I used some extra 3M spray adhesives to help hold it.

    They do make it in 12 and 36 inch wide rolls. It's called Flashband and you can find it at most Roofing Supply companies. We carry one made by a company called Hardcastle and every now and then guys come in asking for it for sound systems. It's pretty good stuff. It designed as an underlayment for the ridge areas on a tile roof. It's available in aluminum back or black back.

    when using anything inside roof take into account clearance for the metal bows used to hold headliner up.
