[QUOTE="SS Rep Jon, post: 2848369, member: 575613"] After hearing about Elemental Designs new eDead UE I wanted to find out if it truly was what they are claiming it to be (120 mils thick with a 5 mil aluminum layer with a 1 mil mylar top layer). Here are my findings: [B]FIRST IMPRESSIONS[/B]: First impression is that this stuff [I]looks[/I] like a fairly good product. Shiny, rubbery, no offensive smell, everything you would want in a sound deadening mat! But when you start to actually compare it to Damplifier or Damplifier Pro, you quickly see the differences... [B]5 mil aluminum with 1 mil mylar... right...[/B] I started off by taking a 1 sq. ft. piece off of one of the four 5 foot pieces I ordered and throwing it on my scale. [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/frootloops16/edeadue01.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE=8px]Kinda flimsy... but whatever.[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/frootloops16/edeadue02.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE=8px]15 ounces per sq. ft., not bad.[/SIZE][/B] Cutting through it was like cutting through butter, no drag on my knife from the butyl rubber and I had no problem puncturing the 6 mil total thickness of the aluminum/mylar combo. You might see that as a good thing, but I see this as something completely wrong! No drag on my knife means that there isn't much adhesion strength, because if any of you have ever used Damplifier or Damplifier Pro you know how it has a tendency to stop your blade from gliding along because the butyl mix just grabs on and wont let go. And the easily punctured 6 mil aluminum/mylar combo just isn't as thick as the aluminum layer of Damplifier Pro (I'll be posting thickness measurements within the next few days). So far not too impressed with it... on to temp testing. [/QUOTE]
