so this stuff isn't gonna melt when it gets hot, is it?

 

They claim it's good to 500 degrees F, which means you can even use it under the hood.

 

have any of you guys ever tried spray in foam for all the little pockets of our cars and maybe the the doors?

 

People have used it with good success, but you need to know what you're doing. Could be a problem in the doors: if you plug the bottoms it will fill with water, or it could interfere with the windows.

 

I just bought 1.5 rolls of the RAAMaudio BXT stuff. it cost me about $177 after shipping. one roll is 62 sq ft. so I hope that 90 sq ft will cover the floor and maybe the doors. I am only concerned about the floors right now becuz I already have my interior out to do my 6 pt roll bar install. if I dont get to the doors then I can save that for another weekend. Taking the door panels off isnt as bad as removing the carpets and stuff. i will post here on my installation results and hopefuly some pics to go with it.

 

I just visited my local Lowe's (Burbank, CA) and they do not carry Peel and Seal. They do, however, have a product that seems to fit the same description (though I was kind of expecting it to be thicker). The name escapes me at the moment. It's a ridiculously sticky asphalt-based substance, similar to B-quiet Extreme by the description they have on their website.

I was kind of wondering, if I get that and use it directly on the metal, then put a layer of padding/sound absorber on top, what type of padding should I use? Is home (foam) carpet padding just too heavy, or is there a safety reason associated with it (fire, etc)?

 

im pretty happy with the results of the raam mat. I got one roll for like 100 i think and its pretty good, i think i would need 2 or 3 to do th whole car. I did the gas tank back and doubled it all up and did both doors doubled up and i have like 15"x like 30 inches left . It didnt make a huge difference but it did make a difference and got rid of ratteling, so i could see how if i did the whole interior it would make a difference.

 

why did you need to double it up? Where on the doors did you put it and did you also keep the factory padding on the OEM carpet?

 

i doubled it up because it was shaking really badly on the rear and i thought it would help , well it didnt on the back because the bumper cover is rubbing on something . and i also kept the factory padding . I did the bottom part of the doors , but i also have crank windows so i can get to the front bottom part of the door. And i did some on the top and that got rid of the metal moving and making sounds.

 

I just grabbed a roll of RAAMmat for one of my cars, and I have Second Skin Spectrum Sludge for the other car. I'll update this when I get the results of how they compare.

I now have 75 sq. feet of Jiffy Seal, which I think I'll only use on the bottom of the car. I'll get a roll or two of RAAMmat to do the doors and roof, since I don't want anything melting downwards.

I also went to a local foam supply store and purchased some scrap rolls of closed-cell foam for $10 a roll. Each one is about 20-30 sq. ft, which makes them quite a bargain, and they can certainly take the temperatures.
