Does Peel N Seal really work?

I would certainly not recommend edead. I've never tried the liquid stuff, but the mat sucks.

the liquid stuff is awful... I had two gallons and neither was sprayable... I had to spread it on by hand.... I have also used SS spectrum and I am much happier with the results

A few years back I tried that expandable foam as a quick fix to seal my trunk. You know, the yellow stuff that shoots out of the can gooey, then expands and dries to a styrofoam-like consistancy. Helped rid some of the obvious rattles, more or less padding where the metal trunk lid impacts the body of the car. Thats about it. Didnt do a **** for deadening. BTW. Whatever the application you should happen to use this stuff on, be warned. Read the label first! It wasnt until I had the stuff all over my hands and close that I read it. "If contact with skin, allow to wear off". This means that I had dirty orange dried foeam on my hands for at least a week. This was after I nearly rubbed my skin off with harsh chemicals and scratch pads. I still have the pants I was wearing, After at least 2 dozen washes, I still have foam shat all over them. On my hat is a stain that will never fade.

Heres the run down.

When i had no money(hey i have no money now....) Anyways about a 2 years ago when i had my jeep I decided to sound deaden it some since it rattled bad with my Coaxials. I was only running 50w X 4 on kenwood coax's but it still hit hard enough to piss me off. So I did my research and found peel n seal. Went to lowes and picked up 4 rolls at $11 a piece.

I ended up doing all 4 doors. The Liftgate. And other random areas, under seats, trunk/cabin area and so on. Did it make a difference? Yes. It was practically night and day.

Mind you. I did not do much of the inner our outer door skins. I didnt cover up any of the large holes. The road noise was reduced by at least 75%. And my speakers sounded alot better.

In fact heres a picture of Peel n Seal on a door.

Now. Although it made a pretty big difference the car stunk for months of asphalt. Everytime it would get hot out it would smell some. Before I sold the jeep I noticed some of the peel n seal was peeling off as well. This is after sitting in the shade for 2 months. I never saw it melt in a puddle of asphalt but I refuse to use it in my car now. It's a black car with tinted windows and a dark interior. It gets scalding hot if it's in direct sunlight. I know peel n seal would easily melt.

My advice is if you want to add mass to your car. And want to do it cheaply. Use peel n seal on safe areas. What are safe areas? Areas where it doesn't matter if it melts theres no harm. IE The floor. Gravity cant get to it. The chances of it losing it's stickyness is low. If it melts it'll simply solidfy again where it was.

If you want true sound deadening on the doors. Go for Raamat or Secondskin Damplifier

Here in Seattle P&S is safe to use, clean the area with rubbing alcohol and stick away! Never gets hot enough to smell or melt. Cheaper than hell too. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
