This stuff is really expensive and I cannot afford to do the whole car at once, question is, what is the best place to start and then move to next? to get the most effectiveness also, Stevdart............that sheeting you used in your car from McMaster, I live in Arizona, do you think it will stand up to that kinda heat? I don't usually but the "ASPHALT" sented air fresheners.

to actually answer your question, I would start with the doors, unless you are a trunk rattlin mofo from da wesside, then please do your trunk...for your neighbors sake. Seriously, the doors are about the only thing that I have done in my last couple cars. I filled most everything else up with expanding foam insulation. ------------- all bad things come in moderation. do not shop at fry's. Get your own log in Omar.

I still have the car that I installed that stuff in. Haven't smelled asphalt for 4 years. But I didn't skip (too many) steps when I installed it, either. I helped the glue a little by using a quick spray of 3M 77 directly to the sheet metal, and made sure that I wiped the metal clean first. I didn't go that extra mile by cleaning the metal with denatured alcohol, but that is a step that will ensure best adhesion. For the rolling, I used a heavy steel seam roller that I used to use in paperhanging. I don't think it's the heat of the day that will cause failure...I think it's the installation of the product.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I did peel and seal from home depot over my floor and pillars. I had a slight asphalt smell for a day or so. My alarm has shown just over 116 degrees in cab.

I have heard of like 160+ in the cab (with windows up) and the surface temp on something dark in the summer will actually cook and egg. That is why I asked, especially when I get to the headliner

116 is the highest I've seen on my compustar remote, my truck is forest green so it's dark enough. the several pieces of dynamat I have on the roof haven't fallen yet, but I did put tacmat up there too.

Weel, I live in Bakersfield, I have a black Civic, and outside temps can reach 110 to 115... In the sun, the steering wheel can get SO hot, you can't touch it, and I mean that quite literally.
I've never had issues with Dynamat Extreme failures, and I have PLENTY of it in my car! :) I haven't ever "added" anything, with respect to adhesives, I just make very sure the surface is REALLY clean - wiped down with denatured alcohol or acetone - and the stuff just sticks... What else can I say!

It all reminds me of something that Moličre once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Thanx for the input everybody, I will be sure to use the alcohol to clean first lol, here is what we get in Phoenix  The temperature recorded inside the SUV on top of the dashboard was 183 degrees.<<<----
And the temperature recorded inside the SUV in the shade and on the seat was 135 degrees.

Tint your windows with a good quality metalized tint it will dramatlicly reduce inside car temp. Also just buy what you can little by little until you have enough dyna-mat to do your car then install it all. The Blazer I built for my son we got most parts over 2 years. We have around 10,000 dollars invested 3,500 just in the audio system. ------------- My wife thinks bagging a truck means you kick it in the truck nuts
