I used the same stuff in my Golf to sound deaded under the back seat and
in the trunk.  Works well - the only place I had problems was doing the
vertical sides of the spare tire well.  Didn't work all that well.
Also, I did mine on a warm day in the summer (+25*C which is actually a
hot day in Calgary, but warm everywhere else *smirk*) - a cooler day may
have helped.  But this stuff isn't very flexible when cold.

FWIW I got a big huge roll (like I dunno - 90 lbs worth?) for a hundred
bucks Canadian.  I intend to do my Westy next winter once I have my
garage built and can pull a bunch of the interior out.
