[QUOTE="Alrojoca, post: 8147171, member: 638714"] I was looking at materials to cover some inner factory holes on my rear doors. We all know the options, aluminum sheets, sheet metal, treated wood, MDF all of it either covered with a layer of butyl sound deadening, CCF or CLD. Fiberglass of course, the best option and some have even made removable pieces. I came a across some composite roof shingles ( asphalt based) this stuff Is: 1. 1/8 thicj (what I found on my shed) 2. A bit flexible, not much but it makes it easier to install 3. Heavy and hard as thick wood, this stuff surprised me. I knocked on it and wholly crap like 1/2 inch MDF almost on just 1/8 thick piece. 4. Does not really smell (it can be covered with CCF or CLD) 5. Easy to cut 6. Seems like a good acoustical material even if not covered ( only thing is the little powder that comes off) that is why it must be covered. 7. it will not generate mold or degrade or wear out compared to other materials that will rust, create galvanic rust mixing metals, degrade with water and humidity. It is water proof. 8. Once covered with CLD, aluminum tape, CCF tape or glued, It can be screwed on or glued. Negative issues 1. Needs to be covered on both sides. 2. No clue about the cost or if we need to buy more that we need to. 3. In hot temperatures it can get hot but since it is not exposed to the sun, it may not get soft enough to be an issue 4. I am trying to think of more negative things Any thoughts or anyone tried or used this before or is wiling to give it try like I am. Give me some thoughts good or bad. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
