Fatmat installation is done

[Second Skin Rep]

The adhesive going bad after 2 years of sitting seems fairly normal to me as they have a limited shelf life. However, this does not effect its performance as a sound deadner. The eDead I used was the same way (3 years in my case). I just used 3M spray adhesive when installing and it works great. I know this defeats the ease of peel and stick matting, but it is not going to come off. I have mine doubled up on the roof and it is fine. Can't see this as a reason for throwing out two rolls of unused product.

Man. I hate to come in here and bring bad news but in a constraint layer damping mat, the adhseive accounts for 50% of the results from the product. The other 50% is the foil
The reason you didnt notice much of a difference when your eDead failed, is becasue eDead is not a vibration damper, it is a roofing tape that ed buys fromt a gutter tape manufacturer and renames a damper. Never designed to go in to a car though. Thats why your melted or failed. So when you applied glue to it, you just got the same results a roofing product would be able to provide. Compare it to a real vibration damper an you will notice a HUGE improvement in damping results..
