[QUOTE="Anthony Collova, post: 6968058, member: 558844"] Ah.. I see the misunderstanding.. Even though they dry very hard, they are still elastomeric. Hard to tell in some cases but even the hardest of elastmeric resins, is in fact elastomeric whether your or I can tell or not. I am not suggesting than anyone buy one, or the other. The determining factor limited only by the installers preferred application method. Well, than and the area of the car you want to put it on. Most people would not reccomend using a foil backed mat on the underside of the car, whereas most elastomeric coatings will hold up just fine. If I understand your logic, you say that you are not willing to compare a coating to a cld in person because: 1. you have used coatings before (15 years ago) and assume they have not changed 2. with out labaroatory test gear, the human ability to detect such differences would be negligable? If that is the case, then it seems like testing in person would go one of two ways: Either the comparison would be so close to tell that the user would not be able to determine a difference, in which case, MY statement of equal performance between the two type of materials stands (since most of use don't base our perception of noise reduction on the lab gear sitting next to us in the passenger seat. Or, the difference would be so great that the obvious conclusion would be that one is better than the other, thus negating the requirement of the lab equipment all together. One or the other, but in either case the issue is resolved. I happen to have some Spectrum left over from the sale of the company if you want me to send it to you. You can try it out, and get back to us with your findings. Just PM me with a shipping address and I'll even pick up the freight! ANT [/QUOTE]
