DynaMat leftovers

I don't have the spare to send but I'll try to describe.

Imagine aluminum foil 'food' wrap, but about 6 times stiffer and thicker, coated on one side with 4 mms of asphalt/tar coating, which will stick like flypaper to any reasonably smooth surface.

It's super pliable, moldable formable. The foil cuts (not so thin it tears) very easily. The tar portion doesn't smear, remains very tacky.

Mine stuck everywhere perfectly, but on the roof, the hot sun caused it to release. That's the sole issue I had. (Replaced it with closed cell lightweight foam.)

Far as I've ever noticed, it has no tar smell nor any errant odor at all.

Hope this helps. Great product.

I looked at the Dynamat at a local restoration shop but found it to be a little pricey.

After a little research, I found Eastwood's copy of Dynamat which has very similar heat reducing and sound deadening characteristic. It also was quite a bit less expensive. I have not installed it yet but it looks like it should quiet down the passenger compartment.

I sell yet another alternative call "Hushmat". It is very similar to the alternatives.

I prefer the cabin noise. It reminds me what I am driving. Whe asked what the noise level inside the cabin is like, I say at highway speeds, it is very similar to a helicopter.

I am sure I have some Dynamat Extreme and I believe the SecondSkin product, Damplifier.

This has a slightly higher temp rating.

PM snt to you bdub.

I too want the noise, but I need to keep as much heat out as possible. Will drop the AC to install a 180 exhaust.

Scott how many sheets does it take to cover the firewall? the floor?

When I did the rear bulkhead using Dynamat. I didn't notice that big a difference, especially with heat migration. Now if you got some insulated glass, and replaced the rear glass you should see a drop in noise and temperatures in the cockpit.

Interesting. I was thinking of covering the firewall, floor and tunnel. Is it not worth the effort?

When I did the bulkhead I did a bunch of research on all sorts of sound/insulation products. If I was going to do the whole interior I would probably use Lizard Skin. IIRC they sell either sound deadening or temperature products, but I do believe they do both functions. It is so much lighter then the matting products, so saving weight would be good too.
Now if it is worth the effort. I don't know. I was hoping for a lot better results from lining the bulkhead, I even applied aluminum tape to the joints, heated the sheets with a temp gun, and used a roller to make it "bite" the bulkhead as tight as I could......
