liquid damping question

[ubergolf97]

so the car audio part of cardomain.com sells liquid cascade audio damping for about $50 a gallon. i wanna go with the liquid because i've used the self stick mats before, and they were pain to work with and get to mold into the bends/creases on the floor of the car.

it says it needs to be sprayed on, but i don't wanna spend another $50 on top of that for their sprayer i'm only gonna use once. anyone know if it can be rolled on instead?

is there an alternative liquid damping that can be applied without a spray gun?

i plan on doing this soon since the interior is pretty much stripped bare except for the driver's seat and dash.

You can paint it on but is much more time consuming.

If you have access to an air compressor you can buy a tip for less than $50 and still get the job done in 1/2 the time.

sandblasting guns will work excellent since they dont spray in a fine mist like a HVLP painters gun

if you end up going with the spray gun approach, check spectrum spray out from second skin...

yeah this stuff is better than the stuff at my dads work..

.. pallets and pallets of 5 gallon buckets of rubberized asphalt hehe

but how good would it work? anyone

It probably smells really bad when it gets hot out.

Asphalt and heat dont mix in cars

ehhh yeah true..

forgot about the down side

fabreze!

time doesn't really matter. i do have the compressor and a sandblast gun, i might have to give that a shot.

i was talking about cascade vb1x.

i didn't think the cascade was asphalt based, or is that just the stick on versions of cascade that aren't asphalt based?

It isnt asphalt based, most good quality deadeners arent.

I met the cascade owner at CES, he was a nice guy.

Ok, so going with any of the three listed above would be a good choice though? how far would a gallon get me, it's for a 97 golf.

 

[supa_c 5,000+ posts]

Either of them will work equally well

a gallon will do the trunk and probably both doors

It also depends on how thick you actually spray it on

Now now bro, you know very well we'd use that gun more than once. We gotta do my car too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fro.gif.c695f1f814b01c4ad99fe7f8cccadd29.gif
