Dan, I got the lower links to open. I remember reading Bulley's post on this when he first did it (I miss the guy, wished he was still on the list....very entertaining and a fount of good info). Anyway, I was reading about the "Q-Pads" that he used to insulate his van for sound. That stuff is danged pricey. Recently I had to put a new roof on my house and we used some "Ice and Water Guard" that was basically a rubber/asphalt compound that had an incredibly sticky backing to it. Came in 30" roll by probably 50' for $50 (round numbers). Do you suppose this stuff would work? Seems like its basically the same stuff and would accomplish the same thing: that being stop all the resonance of the metal sheets but a heck of a lot cheaper. A single roll would do two vans! Is this crazy or does the list think that it might work?
