I googled sound deadening and came across a car audio forum which recommended using "peel & seal" from lowes/home depot. Many people stated that it was "the same thing as dynamat", and one guy even claimed that dynamat purchased this material and stamped their logo on it when their supplies got short... I was thinking "yeah, in internet everything is a conspiracy world, maybe."
Then I purchased it.
-Me, a former dynamat installer, and a body work guy all said "wow, same thing as dynamat."
-The backing is plain white, so the restamping may be valid, who knows.
Things to consider:
-Weight: Each roll (6in x 25ft) is only 4.1 lbs. I doubt most cars that are worried about weigh would take more than 3 rolls to do.
-Price: Each roll (6in x 25ft) is $12. That much dynamat is probably $150 or so.
-Quality: I'm VERY pleased. It molds and sticks better than I would've imagined.
Tips:
-Go from front to rear of car in floor plans, not side-to-side. This is obvious to some, but I learned the hard way... I had to go back over some spots on the passenger side.
-Brake cleaner is really good for cleaning your cutter afterwards.

All done:

Wholly crap.... its f'ing fatmat, dynamat, b quiet... mutha biotch. I would have never knew. Thank you for posting this up as i will be on my way to home depot right after work. I buy FatMat by the 100 sq. ft. at about $120 for installs i do from time to time and i think you just helped me cut down on some serious costs here. Thanks again... car looks good!
I was thinking about doing this to my trunk for the subs. I will probably pick some of this up next paycheck lol Looks tight though
good find!! dynamat is expensive even at wholesale. im going to order some of this peel & seal
I demand you tell me how to properly equip this to my trunk area. Not really. But for real. Can you tell me?good find!! dynamat is expensive even at wholesale. im going to order some of this peel & seal
I feel dumb for asking, but why is it better to go front to back instead of side to side?

If you couldn't tell by the post I made that he quoted... two blocks of wood were my tools.
It's tar on one side so you put that side on the actual car and I used the wood to beat it into shape.
I was talking to stormtrooper :P But I do have some random pieces of 2x4
i always clean metal with simple green first.
place mat on surface to be covered
use heat gun and small rubber roller to mold it into crevices.
then your done
how does it work? noticeable difference in road noise? my interior is getting an overhaul around christmas and i am re sound deadening the entire car.
Understandable, but if you look we both did the EXACT same thing. I just had a few more curves to navigate.
still looks good. i cant believe ive never heard of this and i manage a hardware store full time lol. wtf
Yeah I dont know how much its gonna help with the sound in the trunk. I havent heard to many people with subs and some sort of sound deadening but Ive heard its the way to go.
