[QUOTE="Rudy, post: 4115150, member: 568035"] Any good things you heard were in the past couple of months after they went out of business and the name was bought by a roofing supplier in Ohio. Prior to that, it was just Peel & Seal with a logo stenciled on it, sold by people who took a month or more to ship it, if they shipped it at all. The new guy has dramatically improved shipping times, but it is still Peel & Seal with a logo stenciled on it. You can buy Peel & Seal directly from Lowes or a roofing supply place and pay less for it. Unfortunately, even if you got it for cheaper, you still wouldn't want to put it in a car. It is asphalt. Asphalt is a very poor vibration damper. More than that, it has a very high failure rate. It either falls off, or if you are unlikely, melts, leaving you a car full of melted tar. To add insult to injury - literally, I guess, it outgasses toxic VOCs. That's the stink people complain of. This stuff was meant to be used on the outside of buildings and mobile homes. You will always do better to spend the same amount of money on a butyl adhesive/aluminum foil faced deadener and spread it out. $100 worth will do a better job than $100 worth of FatMat or other asphalt mat with none of the downside risk. Price per square foot is meaningless for sound deadeners. You need butyl, aluminum foil and price per unit of mass is much more important. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
