[QUOTE="Rudy, post: 4587831, member: 568035"] I have both in my hands and at measures the same in every regard. Also tests the same. The guy who owns FatMat now is also a Peel & Seal dealer. Better yet, I've asked him what the difference is and he refused to answer. What more do you want? Is it possible that FatMat isn't manufactured by MFM (makers of P&S), sure, but if it isn't, it is an exact clone. As to eDead, putting aside recent reports of adhesive failure, IMO the biggest problem it has is the Mylar (plastic) facing they use instead of aluminum foil. Foil is an important component. No foil = much more product required to achieve the same results. You absolutely want a butyl adhesive with aluminum foil - the thicker the foil the better. Any asphalt product is going to be much less effective than butyl. More important, it is MUCH less reliable. Some people have had good luck, but many have had it melt or fall off. It's basically better than nothing if it doesn't fail. Since it is so much less effective than butyl, you can get the same results using much less of a butyl/foil product. The savings are illusory and the risks are extreme. I wouldn't put asphalt in any vehicle I owned. [/QUOTE]
