[QUOTE="Anthony Collova, post: 6708769, member: 558844"] The foam barrier on the MLV is used to decouple the vinyl from the panel it is laying upon. There is some debate as to exatly why different materials work better than others for decoupling, but what is agreedupon is the need to decouple the vinyl. Close cell foam, open celled foam, Jute, bubble wrap, all work well, but some will hold up in automotive conditions better than others. Go for something that is at least 1 lb per sq foot, and adecoupler that is at least 1/8 inch thick. As long as the vinyl is elevated off the panel you will be good. ANT [/QUOTE]
