Anyone have an alternative to dynamat?

i wish i had never listened to threads like this years ago when i put my peel and seal on //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

 
I wonder if it would be possible to buy rubber sheeting directly from a supplier. Im guna do some emailing around. Ill let you guys know what i come up with.

 
My personal favorite deadener.
Best value on the market IMO.

You get 4 to 5 times the material in a single roll of RaaMat than you get in a single trunk kit of Dynamat X-treme. AND, the roll of RaaMat is still cheaper WITH SHIPPING from Oregon!!! Don't get me wrong, Dynamat X-treme is a very good product. But, they need to cut the cost of it dramatically before I would consider using it over Raamat.

peal n seal will stick and stay stuck no matter the temperature if u heat it up and roll it with a sprocket roller. it would never come off
Interesting statement. Rubber is added to the asphalt to increase its heat tolerance to 180°F. The rubber deteriorates with age and exposure to heat accelerates the aging. Heating P&S to install it damages the rubber compounds and means it will fail sooner than it would otherwise. There is no "never come off" with asphalt, unless 2000LaDe wants to guarantee your project personally //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
Indeed... P&S will fall off eventually, even if it stays on a few years. I installed it very carefully in one of my previous cars... clean surface, heat gun, smaller strips w/ aluminum tape around the edges of each and every piece, etc. It stuck for ~4 years and is now starting to come off and ooze out, even around the tape -- my cousin owns the car now so I check on it from time to time.
****, I'd like to frame this post and hang it on the wall. This is inno way an attack on sundownz, but his position used to be that if you were incredibly careful - super cleaned the substrate, used foil tape on all the edges, P&S would be fine, it just was too much work to be worth it to most people.

This is not even close to the first P&S supporter who has come back a year or two later to report problems. ROE on Realm of Excursion is another. Not worth the risk folks.

 
get dynamat it works, its proven, its gooooooood.

price means jack to get rid of those bloody rattles.

i rattled the numberplate screws out today lost my rear number plate on the freeway

Well, i emailed a couple of rubber manufacturers. Acme rubber was the only one to give me a quote. For the exact same thickness of butyl rubber and same square footage, the raammat was by far a better deal. For a 62.5 square foot roll of raammat it is $119. For 62.5 square feet of the Acme rubber stuff, it is $250! Plus there is a 200 square foot minimum purchase. So unless there are rubber manufactures out there that sell butyl for a lot cheaper than this, seems raammat is the way to go.

 
Sheet rubber is not elastomeric, so it will not perform anything like a real constrained layer viscoelastic damper.

Sheet rubber is good for adding weight or absorbing the transferance of vibrations between 2 products.

Like under the feet of a chair, or home audio amplifier.. Stuff like that.

Your a liar. They both came out at the same time? whatever. Yeah, pay way to much for the same product...sounds like a great idea. A dingo ate your baby. I think I hear crocodile dundee yelling for you to bring the lube.

 
I used some cheap asphalt stuff from home depot, BUT I went over it with some liquid eDead. I'm hoping that the Liquid eDead will hold it in place since it hardens up like crazy.

I'll report back in a few years.
