Sound Deadener

So I'm thinking about sound deadening my car. I'm going to be using fatmat. Their ratings are 50 mil and 80 mil. I'm not familar with size ratings so I was wondering if someone could help me out with that. How thick is 50 and 80 mil like on a ruler???

A mil is another word for a thousandth of an inch. So 50 mil is .050" thick.

I don't know if Fatmat changed their product, but they used to be exactly the same as Peel & Seal, which is something you don't want in your car. I'd go with RAAMmat BXT myself.

FatMat has changed owners, but hasn't changed formulas. The new owner attacked me on another forum for saying it shouldn't be used in a car. I challenged him to explain how FatMat was different than Peel & Seal. He disappeared.

I wouldn't waste my time.
