[QUOTE="geolemon, post: 197464, member: 547749"] The "StormGuard" and products like that that you can find at local hardware stores ARE asphalt mat... But they aren't as thick as the stuff used in the car audio aftermarket.. and adding mass is the key to their effectiveness. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Also, the adhesives used on these products is simply intended to hold the product on a roof prior to a shingling job... it's been widely reported by many that the adhesives simply aren't good enough to properly bond to metal, it easily peels off. And given the intended use of the adhesive, I wouldn't have any faith that it would actualy last over time. Given that this stuff is thinner, it makes it almost manditory to layer this product up... placing even higher importance on an inherently weaker adhesive. Not a good thing! [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nono.gif.eca61d170185779e0921b0faa9704973.gif[/IMG] I'm also one to look for a bargain... But having to apply my own glue to material like this sounds like a nightmare install job to me... as does having to do the job twice (layering it, after all!). I'd check out: [URL="http://www.secondskinaudio.com"]http://www.secondskinaudio.com[/URL] This looks like really good stuff, I've seen some pictures of installs with it. It not only comes in a thick 45 mil thickness, but a 60 mil thick version too! And for way less than Dynamat. I've heard the adhesion is great, and no smell. $125 for 100 sq.ft. if I recall (45 mil). Alternatively, I just found out about: [URL="http://www.fatmat.com"]http://www.fatmat.com[/URL] This also looks like really good stuff, although I haven't seen any installs with it. But I have talked online to people who have used it, and they say it had fantastic workability and adhesion.. no heat required! They did say that the car had a slight odor for a couple weeks, but then it went away, they attributed to the adhesive curing. Only $99 for 100 sq.ft. of this stuff (45 mil). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
