Basicly Dynamat (and most of these products) are a foil backet buytal type material.. It is VERY sticky.

Everything you wanted to know about Dynamat but were afraid to ask..

Has anyone used the Brown Bread product from B-Quiet?

Does anyone have any pics of their dynamat or fatmat installation. I am thinking of doing this myself.

Just a quick post in this thread. I ordered a 100sqft kit from www.fatmat.com two weeks ago and have not received it. They are not returning my calls, nor my emails. I don't have a shipping date nor a tracking number. I'll post if something changes.

I ran across a water heater jacket that looks suspiciously like automotive insulation with a foil backing. About 17 bucks for enough to cover an average heater will cover a lot of floor or ceiling, etc. Spray on adhesive should stick it in place. I've seen similar stuff in various magazines selling for a lot more. Street Rodder mag did an article using a similar product. It is like a cotton fiber or jute type stuff about 1/2 inch thick and fairly strong from my poke the package with a pen test. Very Official I might add. Does any one know anything about this stuff? I'll get the specifics tomorrow and post it and see what happens.

I also did the roof, doors, quarters, firewall.. well you get the idea

It's easy to do.

I got my dynamat on Ebay for $96 a bulk pack .. Fat mat was cheaper.

Tom the water heater insulation sounds very interesting please do post what you can on it. My only concern about it would be wether or not it will insulate sound well. My guess is that would be it's possible downfall when compared to Dynamat or Fatmat. It may only have the sound blocking capability of stock automotive undercarpet Jute padding. I hope otherwise though as Dynamat is so spendy!

[Tom Welch]

Ok Rathead, here's what I've found so far... Quietride solutions uses a "dense sound absorbing pad". The product I found looks exactly and I mean exactly like all the photos I've seen. I have not done a side by side comparison though. 24 sq ft for about 25.00, its 3/8" thick, advertised to be the equivalent of r-19 insulation which is about 8 inches thick if I remember. I have a call in to the firm that produces this stuff and I am going to set myself up as a dealer to find the real skinny on this stuff. I have shown this to some friends and they agree with me as far as the two products being the same. I believe that what I purchased today is flame retardent and mildew resistant. It would seem that it would need to be to cover a water heater anyway. I'll have more as info comes to me. The Quietride kit for a 1st gen Camaro/Firebird sells for 540.00, this comes with aluminum tape to seal seams, spray adhesive, and some dynamat. The rep on the phone said that dynamat is best used in squares or rectangles in various places inside the car since covering the whole interior was not more effective just more expensive. Oh yeah, it is precut too. I just looked at Dynamat's site and was daring and unafraid to ask questions, their product is very similar to a/c duct insulation, the peel and stick kind that is.

[69Rathead]

Damn! You found out a lot of good info! Think I'll start looking at some of this stuff as well. You ever consider detective work? Haha! You'd make a great detective! Keep us updated by all means...I think your on to something here! Great follow up!

[Tom Welch]

Thanks for the kudos, I suggest going to a building supply store and look for plumbing, the look for plumbing insulation products, the result is rather interesting.

[F70t/a]

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..

steve,

How much does that stuff weight?

[Todds69]

I went to a hot rod interior shop today and ask him what he uses. He said he's tried all of it, and Dynamat is probably the best you can buy. However when I brought up Fatmat he told me a story. He order some and had one heck of a time getting it had to call his credit card company and reject the charges. Fatmat never answered his calls and when he finally heard from them is when they woundered why he revoked payment. He finally recieved some COD only (his choice). He bought some other stuff at a lumber/roofing store "peal & seal" The sticker part # was identical to the Fatmat part# on the roll.....interesting!? He did however tell me he found out Fatmat went bankrupt and/or was under going new ownership. One last thing he said he hasn't tried BrownBread yet. I found the "peal & seal" locally for $26.99 @100sq.ft. Carter Lumber....Time for a beer

[Tom Welch]

My space age water heater jacket stuff weighs about .12 lb per square foot. I want to see some of that peel-n-seal stuff.

[69Rathead]

Great info Todd! I'm beginning to think I'm in the wrong forum...I'm sick and lost ...this is some sort of bored Detective's Forum I'm stuck in! The only thing that brings me back out of this Twilight Zone is the great info you guys are coming up with! Awesome! Tom and Todd: Are you guys really from TNT Detective Agency? Thanks alot you guys!

[Todds69]

We can never tell....classified info you see!! lol

[Tom Welch]

If I tell I have to kill, If I think about it I have to hurt, so....

[Payton King]

So from what I have read so far the peel and stick from the Home depot is as good as Fatmat and Dynamat? That Dynamat is the same as HVAC duct insulation? What about the smell of the stuff. I have heard on more that one occasion that some of the stuff is asphalt based and really stinks up the car. Anyone have any information on www.lizardskin.com ?

[Steve1968LS2]

The bottom of my car is shot with lizardskin.. cool stuff, it's like a thinner less bumpy version of bed liner.

At my shop they shoot the interiors with it (the interior version that is VERY un-bumpy) and then dynomat over that.

FYI.. just using lizardskin does nothing about heat. Dyno/fatmat/brownbread does due to its foil backing..

The Home depot stuff sounds interesting but is it worth it to save $50?

[69Rathead]

Steve, How did you get $50? I can't find 100 sq ft of Dynamat anywhere for $76.99! The cheapest deal on 100 sq ft. I could find is $99, it is Fatmat not Dynamat, and the shipping is $29. That is $100 difference based on 100 sq ft. I'm not trying to nitpick here but if I can save $100 and buy the same stuff as Fatmat (Peal an Seal) and not deal with shipping then why not at least try it. Also several people have mentioned ordering Fatmat and having problems, delays, like they may be having business issues. If the stuff stinks I'm out $26.99 thats if I buy the full 100 sq ft roll. I'm sure I can buy a smaller amount and leave it in the car a few nights and see if it wreaks or not. Did you use true Dynamat?, did you buy on Ebay? I took a look at ebay and Crutchfield prices on true Dynamat and here is an example of a crutchfield price: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-LO61hxJ...250&I=15410125 for 4 sq. ft. I'm sure we can find it cheaper than this but this is just an example of the crazy prices you can pay for the stuff not to mention the new Xtreme version prices. Also most of the deals on Ebay are for $99 are not true Dynamat and may wreak as well. Sounds like try the cheap stuff or pay the full price on true Dynamat so just tell me where I can get it the cheapest and I'll check it out. Thanks for any info.
