[QUOTE="Original wis, post: 8803212, member: 685344"] First try at sound deadening. [ATTACH]41225[/ATTACH][ATTACH]41226[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]41227[/ATTACH][ATTACH]41228[/ATTACH][ATTACH]41231[/ATTACH] I'm not sure if it came out well or not. What I did was I took an entire sheet, put it on each side and filled in the rest with the pieces that I cut from the first two sheets. And then I took a third sheet and cut it into pieces as well to fill in as much as possible. Some things that I learned along the way: 1. Whatever tools you use to cut the butyl should be disposable because it's pretty difficult to get it off of anything. 2. The aluminum is sharp it'll cut you quicker than a paper cut. 3. The best way to clean it is to first take paper towels wet them and wipe up the surface dirt. Next take a nylon disc rubber pad and some dish soap and scrub off the more difficult dirt. After that I used a steel dish scrubbing pad the round ones and scraped as much of the difficult dirt off of there as I possibly could. The car is 21 years old so there was a lot of dust there. I sprayed it down with a cleaner degreaser and wiped that up with more paper towels. Then I took additional paper towels and wiped off to make sure that there was no residue left. The last thing that I did was scrub a microfiber towel over the entire top to make sure that all of the debris was absolutely gone. 4. It was 102° outside while I was doing the work. The Beatles was so soft kind of like almost marshmallow. It pretty much flowed into all of the nooks and crannies like with a few simple presses. So yeah the warmer outside the easier it is to work with. 5. When you start to press it down start from one corner and work diagonally to the opposite corner. There's a couple spaces where my application was off because I didn't do that and parts got scrunched together. 6. Plastic panel tools are great for pressing the butyl and aluminum into tight rings and spaces where a normal roller may not fit. Overall it was about medium difficulty a little bit better than what I expected but still a lot of work. Any feedback anyone would care to give? Thank you, Lewis King [/QUOTE]
