I've never used b quiet before, and I'm planning to install b quiet in a large cargo van to reduce the road noise.  I have to work inside of this van and I'm wondering about the rubber/tar smell?  I'll be using at least 100 sq feet and the roof and most of the sides will be exposed b quiet. 

Does the rubber smell go away with time?

Thanks,

Dave

The smell will dwindle over time, but because it a an oil based substance, it will never dry to the point where it wont emit an odor. Give it some time, and the smell shouldn't be as noticeable.

I would suggest using some sort of non-porous material, plastic, to cover the stuff, and this will greatly cut down on smell.

I used eDead and although it had very little odor, I used additional adhesive that added some smell. When I sealed the seams with duct tape, what little there was, was totally gone - night and day.

Will it stay on roofs?  Someone said that you had to use dynamat for roofs because of the heat.

Thanks

The roof was the primary area I used the extra adhesive and only did it after I did a test area and noticed it got loose after 3-4 days when super-heated (typical summer in Ohio - hot humid and miserable) - plus the car is black. After I added the extra adhesive it stayed tight with no problems.

eDead also has a paint they recommend for roofs (I still used the sheets though).

I have 250 ft3 of BQuiet Extreme in one of my vehicles and there was no odor at all.
