from looking at the dynamat website it does not give detailed instructions, i was wondering if anyone had some advice on installation

your help would be much appreciated

Use roller, heat gun, and make shure the surface is prep. and cleaned before applying..

with dynamat your not supposed to have to use heat i thought. make sure you clean the surface with rubbing alcohol and a lint free cloth. also you can use some spray adhiesive to help the mat stick better. also make sure to wear gloves when using that stuff because it's sharp when cut. get a wooden roller. home depot or walmart has them in the wallpaper i section. i usually use wallpaper rollers about 1-2 inches wide. i usually do small pieces at a time. when you put it on try and press it with your hands ans much as you can, then use the roller to smooth it all out and remove any air pockets. also a plastic putty knife works well for corners and to flatten it out

I recently Dynamated my car doors, and my best advise to you is to do it early in the morning or late in the evening, Basicaly the cooler the temprerature the easier it is to work with it.

Other materials are Edead, and Great Stuff , Sonic Barrier there are more just do a search for sound deadners on this site, here is one thread i turned up

and good luck man
