? about DYNAMAT

[63SW]

I see this product being used a lot and was wondering so i went to DSE's website to investigate .

they have a bulk kit listed for $250.00 or so...
CONTAINS 4 - 10"x10" sections ????
IS THAT A MISPRINT or am i missing something ?



How much will i need to do my 69 camaro convertable ?

Thanx
JC

That's probably not a misprint. Dynamat is very proud of their product. Look on ebay, or look up Fat Mat. I need to to this for my 67 convertible.

Buy the bulk packs of Dynamat on Ebay for $100.. same stuff, factory box and way cheaper than anyone.. I can't believe people buy it for $250 a box..

See it here..

[Steve1968LS2]

FATMAT is even cheaper (and you get more)

I used the dynamat though because I wasn't sure how good the FM was..

Try looking for at www.thezeb.com A buddy of mine found this place when he did his corvette. Prices are about 25% less than the street.

[Bigblue73]

Sorry I forgot the part number for www.thezeb.com

Try part number 10455 in the search box. This is dynamat Extreme has (9) 18 x 32 sheets for $159.99.

Part number 11105 is the dynaliner and is $39.95.

Thanks for the help and info ...

I want to use this on my car but i dont think im going to spend 1000.00 to do it.

I'll look the other items up.

Hey has anybody ever used "FAT MAT". It is suppose to be better than Dynamat.
I seen it on Ebay, you can get a kit for $100 and its enough to do almost the whole car. Just wondering?

[Happyfunballs]

I haven't but I've heard good things. I'm at the stage where I need to do this and have been doing a bit of research on it. I have a friend that says Fat Mat is just as good, if not better than Dynamat. I intend to buy it for my car. For the difference you can afford to add a second layer of Fat Mat and still be under the cost of Dynamat.

Does any read my posts?

""FAT MAT". It is suppose to be better than Dynamat.

Fat Mat is only $49 for 50 sq ft. on Ebay..

"I want to use this [dynamat] on my car but i dont think im going to spend 1000.00 to do it."

How so? two boxes (enough for the whole car) is less than $200.. two boxes of FatMat would only be $100 for 100 sqft. thats enought to do your whole car and a third of another one.. or do double layers on the trans tunnel and stuff..

Shop smart.. shop S-mart... ;)

Steve,

didn't you use around 80Sq. ft. to do your car? I am going to purchase the fat mat. All let you guys know what I think.

[Happyfunballs]

I just ordered $100sq/ft from http://www.fatmat.com/fatpaks/100.htm .....know that they charge you $29.99 for shipping. I checked ebay thinkin I could do better on the shipping and found a lot of the same. Total was $129.98.

Yea but I did EVERYTHING .. inside the rear quarters.. the roof.. doors.. the firewall.. looked like a big TV dinner in there

With two boxes of Fatmat (100sqft) you can do the whole car, trunk and double some areas like the trans tunnel and such..

[63SW]

Yea , i read your post , and i will probably order the FATMAT next week.

The thing was , i was going by THEIR idea saying 120sqft on average for a midsize car .
AND @ $250.00 for the 10"x10" i just blurted out $1000.00 Figuring i would need 4 boxes .

I do everything i can to "shop Smart" - i have to , i have to many other bills ...haha

Steve, did you put the extreme dynamat on the ceiling. Think there would be any issues with the summer heat making it come loose? I want to do the same if it works well.

[Pro-touring towncar]

check out I think it is called ice dam sold at hardwares the same stuff as dynamat but can get it way cheeper. You don't need to cover the intire surface for stopping vibration. you just need to put a 2-3" square piece every so often. That is what I did on my 2002 USACi Sound Quality World Champion. There is meny differant companies making sound deadener mat. b-quiet is another good one.

I wouldn't advice using the "ice Dam" or it was Ice and water shield when I tried it in my blazer years ago. It looked like dynamat and had similiar properties but I spent a weekend and installed it in the blazer. I spent another day removing it and the tar smell lingered for six months even though I removed it. My wife will still bring that up when I try to save a buck.

Sorry for the stupid question, but what exactly are the benefits of using Dynamat/Fatmat?

Thanks,

I don't think anything could make dynamat come loose.. that is some sticky stuff.. besides, my interior shop dyanmats the roofs and they have never had a problem. My guess is that heat would only make it stick more.

It's nice when you tap on the roof now and get a solid "thunk" sound..

It is important that you have the surface as clean as possible.. was easy for me since I had a new roof..

Mainly it sound deadens panels by stoping the transmission of noise through vibration.

Technically you don't even need to do the whole surface.. a piece in the center of the door can effectively deaden the entire door.

To a small degree it also helps insulate the car from heat. Dynamat does not absorb sound, it absorbs vibration.
