[QUOTE="SS Rep Jon, post: 2848375, member: 575613"] [B]GETTING TECHNICAL[/B]: To get an accurate measurement of the aluminum facing (mylar/aluminum combo on the UE) I decided to dissolve the butyl off of both the products.

You reach for the old rusty, crusty can of turpentine!

After ten minutes passed I decided to pull them out and check on how well it was dissolving, this is what I saw. [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/frootloops16/moreedead05.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE=8px]ICK![/SIZE][/B] eDead's UE (the sample on the left) was [B]MUCH[/B] [B]MUCH[/B] softer and had dissolved more then the Damplifier Pro (sample on the right).
