is this about the same as peel and seal?

the heck with it... im going to lowes... there are

two in rochester which both say they have the

stuff in stock...

its only a little over an hour drive and im bored anyways...

 
your going to be spending money on gas anyways for the long drive...so you might as well just order ss or edead or somethin because it going to cost almost the same in the end.

driving around listening to music with another purpose for once...

my car could use another 150 miles... i think its only got about 1050 miles

on it so far... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suave.gif.858fc102f7646e678ee8af7e1fbc41d1.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/driving.gif.c4dead4599dda895032b63e51f52b126.gif

 
well, its not like you cant just open that stuff up and look at it =)

once you get the peel and seal, cut a little piece off and compare it to that duct insulator... if it looks the same, why not try it. it looks really inexpensive... i couldnt find any in syracuse eaither, but a Lowes is just openin up in rome (where i work) so ill take a look when the store is all stocked up and done.

 
The Home Depot in Batavia has that stuff. I work there. It's 10in x 33ft or so for 19.97, the other stuff has an aluminum back and is 4in x 33ft for 14.97. I used 5 layers of the wider stuff in the trunk of my 04 civic coup and it worked great. My only sugestion is to use a heat gun to warm it up after you stick it on espeaially on the trunk lid because it doesn't stick very well in this temp. the only draw back is after my car (black) was in the sun this summer, a little started to peal off. Mainly just the corners and stuff. Not a big deal at all. If you have any questions, call The Batavia Home Depot, and ask for Dan in Hardware. I'm there tues, thurs, sat, and sun. The number is (585) 813-0144.

Ooh yeah, that duct insulator is absolute crap. Good for nothing except insulating pipes. After all, it's nothing but bubble wrap with aluminum on one side. The peel and seal we have isn't butyl rummer like Dynamat, but it works great.

 
well i ended up going to henrietta LOWE's and bought

4 rolls of 6inch by 25foot Peel and Seal... i have all

week off after three more hours of work... hopefully

there wont be any rain and i can get this done... ill

be sure to take pics of the install...

about how many layers of peel and seal should i

expect to have to use???

and about the rear deck... do i put the peel and seal

right over the underneath of the 6 X 9's or do i have

to cut holes out for them to be able to breathe or something???

thanks.

 
cut the holes, you dont want the peel and seal covering anything but bare metal (and really tiny\empty holes that are there for no reason)

i would advise taking off the speakers, then installing, then putting them back on.

and yes. cut the hole out =P

try to use some kind of hard roller to mush the stuff into place.. i still have to do this because i couldnt find one.

 
im going to start on this tomorrow morning... itll give me

a reason not to sit in bed all day... : )

so how long can i expect this stuff to smell for???

and how many layers should i put down???

 
did my hole trunk and rear deck...0 smell and has yet to peel./..its all about how you prepare the surface and put it on...i used fat matt on my caprice and it ended up fallen in places..but it was my first time...did it in my merc and have yet to be dissapointed...just wash down the areas your putting it with soap and water...let it dry...and put it on..i didnt have a roller or anything so i used my hands...had some cuts(ok,alot)and "buurn marks" from the friction of using my hands..that a nono....gl
