forget peel and seal. I am an architect and have not been able to get any in a usable size and thickness for the vanagon at a price that makes it worth it. I have done the sound deadening on my van. I first used fatmat, which is a horrible product that does not stick well and is comparatively thin. then I used secondskin, which is fabulous but also fabulously expensive. then I used some ebay brand that was at least 70 mil or so thick, which was economical and good and had a high butyl content. I think it was called sound destroyer, but it seems NLA. Now I am using RaamMat which is great and somewhat economical. florian On Wed, May 20, 2009 at 8:57 AM, Jeff Lincoln <magikvw@gmail.com> wrote: > Ok, I've read the archives (yay they worked great) but am still a bit > confused. > > I have acquired a proper Carat interior for my '90 and while I'm installing > it thought it would be a good time to install some sound dampening > material. > I know about Dynamat and Fat Mat and some other similar problems - however > times be tight financially my friends and I was hoping to do this > relatively > inexpensively with the best possible results. > > I'd love to use Fat Mat, because I've heard it's results, but it just isn't > int he budget right now. > > So, any "poor mans" materials anyone can suggest?
