The butyl backed products are great for heat dissipation along with deadening specific decibel levels of sound transmission into the car.

Plus it also depends on what you are looking for in the end. Most products on the market are similar in effectiveness however some are more effective at a thinner thickness of product than others and there is a difference between products of how much sound transmission is eliminated. Trust me on this one, reaching under the car to try and poke a hole up through the product for all those bolt holes is a pain in the ass.īe sure to do some research. This will give you a good point of reference when needing to cut out the holes since it will bulge over the bolts. Put the bolts (seat frame, seat-belts, center console, etc) back in the holes before you lay down the material. Save your moneyġ0.This next tip is the most important. If you are butting the sheets next to each other and then use your roller to roll the seams into each other, that will be fine. There really is no need to use the tape to cover the joints. The Butyl will gum up the blades eventuallyĩ. Have a lot of spare razor blades with you. Lay one end down and then slowly work it across.ħ. Don't just lay the sheet down and then work it with the roller. If you are buying the rolls and not the smaller sheets, cut it into workable sizes.Ħ.

I also used the handle of a screw driver and a bondo puddy blade for corners or areas that the roller could not getĥ. Spend a little more to get a good roller.Ĥ. As mentioned above, the products go down better when warmģ. Windex or other vinegar based product will workĢ. I was designing a sound system in my car with mids & tweets in kick panels, mid range in deck tray and subs in trunk, so figured I may as well spend a couple hundred more to add that extra layer to try and eliminate the upper decibels that would effect the sound within the cab since the car interior was already stripped.ġ. Now don't get me wrong, the Butyl base product by itself will be like night and day with what you have now and the carpet padding has some sound absorption qualities in itself and may be all you need / want. Doing this really contained the music within the cab of the car. However as we all know, organic materials (also called Mass Loaded Vinyl) will absorb & Block sound transmission better than a hard backed product which is why I added a liner on top of the FatMat to create that extra layer of sound absorption for those upper decibel levels that cannot be stopped by the Mat itself and helps stop cross frequency of sound bouncing within the car created by the stereo system.
