Agreed.This is the whole Peal n Seal ordeal all over again. Makes a huge mess and has zero sound dampening properties other than adding mass to a panel.
Butyl Deadner with 25-50% coverage, closed cell foam, and then mass loaded vinyl (3 layers total).What I was thinking is gut the vehicle first layer CLD second layer closed cell foam with the tinfoil third layer silicone fourth layer Mass loaded vinyl and then put into your interior back together, I would imagine that all together that would be fairly well soundproofed. Could go one step farther and mix rubber crumbs in the silicone (read a few studies conducted on the soundproofing qualities of rubber crumb
I have no idea why you would make it more complicated then it needs to be
This got me thinking of Flex Seal as another alternative and also Flex Paste. The paste is easier to apply than the roof coating, and for hard to coat areas, the Flex Seal will come in handy. But the price may negate it's value over traditional sound proofing. According to a rep. 1 pound covers 1.5 sq.ft. by 1/16", $15-$20.For the record 1 I have no intention of using this in any of my vehicles. I was just speculatimg, see if anyone thought my neighbor was on to something, I figured it might be feasible at least considering how silicone is used in various÷e different applications. To dampen vibration.
