Because edead is known to be total crap and highly unreliable.

Come back when you grow up, kid. And after that, you can call me sir when we talk.

A fanboy is someone whom praises product or brand based on no facts. That would be you, with your talk of 'inaudible differences' and denials that it is inferior. Go ahead, dispute any of my points, I dare you to even try... that dynamat is inferior in performance, more expensive, and your one-time deal doesn't mean shit. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
And, you forgot to say sir.

Based on a 4 year old test? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Based on multiple reports of its constraining layer separating, and the edges of the substrate itself failing even after only a few days. All reports you already know about, but chose to ignore and focus on your '4 year old test' theory. Yet another example of your blind loyalty to eD.
Problems from 6 months ago. Analysis.
Product failures and QC issues aside, ED's decision to sell a butyl product with a Mylar facing demonstrates either complete ignorance about how these things work, contempt for their customers or both. The products being discussed in this thread - Damplifier, Dynamat Xtreme, etc. are constrained layer dampers. They require a facing that is considerably stiffer than the viscoelastic adhesive. Mylar doesn't fit the bill and results in what would be an extensional damper - like liquid products - except that the adhesive consistency is completely wrong for that application.
They basically chose a cheap substitute for foil, apparently because it looks like foil, and used it to create a product that does almost nothing. I've done performance testing that indicates that it takes ~ 6 times as much eDead V1SE² to equal the performance of Dynamat Xtreme, the product they have claimed V1SE² is better than.
I don't know how else you would describe a product that performs poorly, has a history of failure in use and actually costs more to achieve a similar result, brought to you by a company with a history of misrepresenting their sound deadening offerings. I guess it is better than nothing if it doesn't fall off, but that seems like a strange thing to get so excited about.

eDead is not "deadener" if one is to define the conditions for a product to be called such a thing. In ca.com lingo, those that buy it thinking it is = epic fail.

He knows already. He's read the deadener threads before. Its an act he likes to play out here all the time. At this point he will either reply with some vague form of acceptance of the truth about eD, or he will slink away and stop responding to this thread even though we both know he's still reading it. Either way, next eD thread that pops up he'll be right back to regurgitate the same tired eD excuses and pretend he has no idea the truth about eD is so ugly.

Definitely not FatMat. I tried some two years ago and it DOES not stand up too heat well. It melted literally.
