Rudy have u ever used fatmatt? I have used both Dynamat and fatmatt and for starters there is no odor with fatmatt. On top of that for the dollar aspect you will get way farther on fatmatt. When you need like 200 + square to do your car have fun paying for Dynamat or something along it's price point. I do not think fatmatt is better I have used both and feel they both get the job done ones alot cheaper then the other though. And talking about dirt and lobster LOL? Also as to heat I just stated in hot weather like 90 plus days when ur car is well over 100+ it will not fall off like i have seen several other products do. IMO I just cant see spending that much more money for the same results.

I haven't used FatMat in a car because I just wouldn't do that. I have handled plenty of it. I have seen photographs of its failure and have spoken to dozens of people for whom it has failed. I have spoken to many people who like you, insisted that it was fine only to come back to me the following summer when it failed. Every summer it goes through the risk increases. It may never fail, but it can easily go through one or two summers only to melt during the third, ruining carpet upholstery, etc.

Making a comparison based on price per square foot is absurd. You need multiple layers of FatMat just to match the mass of a single layer of these other products. Beyond that, butyl damps vibrations through viscoelasticity, asphalt does not - butyl is significantly more effective per unit of mass. If you need 200 sq. ft. of FatMat to get the job done, 50 or 60 of a decent sound deadener will do an equivalent job. Not all samples smell and not all people have the same sensitivities. Asphalt still outgases toxic fumes.

You are endorsing a product that is toxic, requires more weight and work to install and will save little or no money while presenting a significant risk of doing permanent damage to your car. Are you willing to guarantee the product if people follow your ill-informed advice and have a disastrous result? I doubt it since not even FatMat is willing to.

You may have had good luck. Saying FatMat is a good choice because it worked for you makes as much sense as endorsing cigarette smoking because you knew a guy who smoked a pack a day and lived to be 100. Beyond that, I challenge you to find a single difference between FatMat and Peel & Seal. The company that is now selling FatMat is a roofing supplier who sell MFM products - the makers of Peel & Seal. Even if you want to ignore all of the risks, the poor performance and poor economy of using an asphalt roofing product in a car, how can you in good conscience encourage people to pay a premium for the exact same thing they can buy for less at Home Depot just because somebody has stamped a blue logo on it?
