[QUOTE="FoxPro5, post: 5645150, member: 562649"] Deadener works by converting vibration to heat via a viscoelastic medium such as butyl rubber. Since you cannot add anything to a surface and NOT add some type of weight, then yes...you are adding mass. But more massive "deadener" isn't more "deadening" than it's lighter counterpart(s). Deadening has mass loading effects, but mass loading does not = deadening. So the answer to your question is: it depends. Did you get a mystery roll of the stuff and not know the name of it? How do you know it's in fact butyl? [/QUOTE]
