[QUOTE="SS Rep Jon, post: 2849328, member: 575613"] None taken. Weight has a lot to do with vibration damping, I simply wanted to know how much it weighed per sq. ft.. At nearly 1 lb. per sq. ft. it is definitely the heaviest product out there (to my knowledge). Mass loading = vibration control. Measuring the thickness of the aluminum facing was to see if it literally measured up to the published thickness (5 mil aluminum with 1 mil mylar, for a total facing thickness of 6 mils). Soaking the products in turpentine was simply to dissolve the butyl core to get an accurate measurement of the foil facing. But as I discovered when doing this, the butyl mix of both products are [B]COMPLETELY[/B] different. I'm sure this has something to do with the actual performance (adhesion, temperature rating, vibration damping, ect.) of both products. Yes both products held up well in the temp test. And yes most people won't see 400°F in their car, but if you were to use it under the hood (like many people have, including myself) 400°F is easily hit and the last thing I would want would be any of it coming off and going somewhere it shouldn't be ([I]use your imagination to choose which engine component gets slimed[/I]). And again, [B]I did all of this to satisfy [/B][B]my own curiosity[/B][B] and had nothing to gain from any of this[/B] (other then the couple death threats... [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG]). I just thought that I would share my findings with everyone. Sweet, can't wait! [/QUOTE]
