Soup, that stuff you got is horrible.  I know, I bought a roll at Lowe's.  I got frustrated with it trying to get it to stick, even with a hair dryer.  I had already prepped the surfaces clean with acetone and a rag, too.  I ended up only using it on the floor.  I guess I figured it can't fall off there- haha.  Peal-n-Seal works well.  I did both doors, and had some left over.  I picked up some more, and will do the hatch area when I get the chance.
My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

That carpet backing that was discussed..........are we talking about that foam material that you find underneath wall to wall carpeting? If so, what is the best way to apply it to you r trunk lid? Spray on adhesive?

I have used the ice guard, not  on cars or anything, but on roofs, since I build build new houses and do all kids of repairs on older houses, the ice guard isnt very thick, its pretty easy to work with also, if there is a Lowes near you, check and see if they have it

I was informed about this stuff from another forum here on the12volt. I recieved my order very quickly. I just ordered one 32"x54" sheet to get a sample of this product. It cost $14.62 plus shipping. That's 12 square feet of this stuff, which is the same thickness as Dynamat, for the same price as 2 10"x10" pieces of Dynamat. It sticks the same a the expensive stuff. A heat gun would be advised on non-flat surfaces.

At the bottom of the page you'll see "raw materialsand springs" with 'sound absorbers' just below it, click on it. It will take you to catalog page 3266, click on the catalog page arrow until you get to page 3270. At the bottom you will see a bucket of vibration damping compound and adhesive-back damping sheets. I bought the polymeric mastic sheet since it's the same thickness as Dynamat. I'm not sure about the other sheets on there though.
I bought some Fatmat, but it's only .045" thick, where this stuff is .070" thick.

Has anyone thought of using lead sheeting? comes in various weights and thicknesses and is about 1/2 the price of most other sound deadners.  I am building a GMC pickup and installing a Cummins diesel (not the quietest engine in the world!!!!!) and the lead deadends the sound like no other. It has a mass about 10 times that of dynamat and the others. And just so you all know....lead is only toxic if you eat it or inhale it.  You can buy lead sheeting from most roofing suppliers.  It is also super easy to instal and you can cut it like butter and mold it to any shape and is only 1/32nd of an inch think!!!!!

Try it, it works great!!!!
