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?
