[QUOTE="SS Rep Jon, post: 2848371, member: 575613"] [B]TEMP TESTING[/B]: To start out with the heat test I cut out a 3" x 3" piece of each Damplifier Pro and UE. [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/frootloops16/edeadue04.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE=8px]Eyeball thickness comparison. UE on top, Damp Pro on bottom. I will post actual measurements later.[/SIZE][/B] Then I went out and got a piece of scrap sheet-metal, cleaned it with some acetone and stuck them both to it and headed outside. [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/frootloops16/edeadue05.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE=8px]Getting real scientific now...[/SIZE][/B] First test was quite simple, simulating exhaust heat (kinda) by hitting the back of each product with a 1 minute blast of the heat gun 4" away @ 1200°F. Both came out well, but the UE did start to slip a bit... [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/frootloops16/edeadue06.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE=8px]Hard to see, but it started to slide.[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/frootloops16/edeadue07.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE=8px]Who would have guessed, unfazed![/SIZE][/B] Then off to the oven it went. Nothing too extreme, 200°F for 30 minutes then bumping it up to 400°F for 10 minutes.

I think I will do what Don did on the Sound Deadener Showdown and gradually turn the heat up over a longer period of time and see how it fairs. And then for the test that nobody saw coming, direct heat! I gave each one a three second warm up before I shoved the flame directly on it for a period of five seconds. [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/frootloops16/edeadue10.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE=8px]The UE lit up really fast, stupid mylar...[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/frootloops16/edeadue11.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE=8px]Damplifier Pro held it's own quite well, no flames, just a bit of smoke.[/SIZE][/B] I then quickly peeled the foil up from each one to see how the butyl mix was doing. [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/frootloops16/edeadue12.jpg[/IMG] The UE butyl was really runny and melty, like string cheese. The Damp Pro butyl well, was still stuck on the sheet-metal like nothing even happened and wasn't the least bit runny. Another observation is that once it had completely cooled down the UE butyl turned into super hard, not sticky, rubber while the Damplifier Pro was still the same sticky butyl mix I started with. [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/frootloops16/edeadue13.jpg[/IMG] I will be doing more heat tests with the UE stuff to see where it's limit is and at what temperature it decides to become not sticky hard rubber... More to come! [/QUOTE]
