Sound deadening

[ajg193]

Why do people put so much dynamat stuff on their cars?

I've always been under the assumption that you only need a small amount of it, in the right spots, to kill the resonance of the panels.

I guess a huge sheet of it could hold back the heat somewhat.

About 1/3rd of a panel is what you want, it's diminishing returns after that. But more is always better right

Has anyone got any sweet hookups for Hardura or the like? I need a bit 1.4m wide by about 4m long in grey or black. This is enough to repattern all the inside of the Dynafari. I went to an upholsters yesterday but I was amazed at what they wanted for it, something like $750. If that is what it actually costs then ok, but it seemed very rich for some pvc and matting...

Anywhere local to buy kilmat or is Amazon the only way?

Cheers. Just ordered the 80mil pack, seems pretty reasonably priced. Will report back with findings.

Have applied to the rear doors, front doors, firewall, part of the floor and roof of my van. 30 sheets of the 34 used up. Easy to apply and work with. Adhesion feels the part.

Do people normally apply sound deadening under the dash area/bottom of the windscreen or is this a waste of time?

I looked up kilmat on the web and they seem all out of stock? Is it gonna be a permanent thing, if so what is the alternative go-to sound deadening?

[kws]

Nevermind, got bait and switched.

I got 4sqm of this stuff, but on a roll: https://themarket.com/nz/p/20pcs-car-truck-vibration-sound-deadening-mat-2.7mm-butyl-rubber-sound-deadeners/5110-BD-32298?siq=e7bb167e-e77d-46c0-be72-ba2cb416728f&sii=5110BD-32298&mode=io

I haven't got around to using it yet, but put a small piece on my hydraulic press beam to see how well it stuck. Seemed to do ok. Certainly won't be the best on the market sticky wise, but it's thick for the price. Going to do it in next few months if you're not in a hurry I can report back if it's good / dogshit. I got it to do floor / kick space areas not roof, and will probably give it a light heat gun action due to installing when it will be cold.

20pcs for $100 seems pretty decent if it does the trick.

think I’ll look into this stuff to do the hunter when it’s finally back from cert

[Bling]

Yeah pretty cheap for the area covered. Fit my budget anyway. I'll try pull finger in the next month or two and install some and report back.

How's that finger pulling going? I'm in the market for some sound deadening and Amazon keeps telling me they wont ship to my address ? (because rural?)

So the stuff you bought has me intrigued.

[Bling]

@yoeddynz it's still in it's box I'm afraid. Odds I'll actually install it soon (ever?) are not great.

Edit: holy shit that was a long time ago!!

What's the stuff worth on Amazon? Unless you're so far in the wops the rural courier doesn't venture there, I could probably do it for $100 to your door (my courier will hate me at 18kg). Happy to have it sit there a few more years though, just if you want some and that's cheaper than Amazon then the offer is there. Unsure of pricing from the posts, but i'm pretty sure it was around that $100 mark, but "The Market" doesn't exist anymore so I can't look up orders.

[yoeddynz]

Yeah go on.... I'm totally happy to extract you from your bitumas trap and allow you to run free again...

Then I can do a review for all....

"So I received Blings 18kg of sound deadening from a very pissed off looking mailman.  I then carefully layered it up on top of the fuel tank in the front of my imp and my god- this car has NEVER FUCKING  HANDLED AS WELL AS THIS BEFORE!!! "

[Bling]

Let me know an address and i'll slap a sticker on the box. I'll then spend the weekend saving up the energy to get it to my front door for a Monday surprise for courier. 

Courier on Monday "shit me, I thought delivering weeping gearbags to front doors was bad, this is a new level of punishment"

[yoeddynz]

I'll pm ya now.
