Second Skin Damplifier - sound deadner

[hotrodhomi]

Where is the cheapest place to buy Second Skin Damplifier Pro? I need about 80 to 90 square feet so a little savings could add up.
Thanks,

If you go search around some car audio forums theres a rep called ant who can set up with a deal

Myself I went with raammat and couldn't be happier. Both rick @ raam and ant will tell you that the others products are good, but second skin is supposed to be the absolute best

[hotrodhomi]

From what I found, Ant works for Second Skin. Will he make you a better deal than the website?

I'll be ordering the same amount also. I'll be watching this.

[hotrodhomi]

I sent "ANT" a email asking if there were any current promos. When I googled second skin I found a bunch of coupons on various forums, but nothing current. I'll keep you posted.

[hotrodhomi]

I just ordered 80 sq feet. Should be here Fri. I can't wait.

I just did mine with the same Second Skin Damplifier. I like the way it turned out. There is a link to my build thread where I installed the mat. Near the bottom.

I got mine a few days ago but won't be installing it for another month.

Had I looked a bit closer I probably wouldn't have gone this route. I thought it was more a butyl product than an asphalt product. I would have just done the peel-n-seal route.

what are the differences? For the people who haven't messed with the stuff

Price, smell, heat resistance, etc. You don't want to hang this vertically as it may slide over time which is what happened to me before. I'll be using something else for the vertical parts and this will lay flat.

Also...is this good for heat resistance or just sound deadner?

[Palf70Step]

Mostly just sound deading, not as great for heat resistance.

Another option to consider, Lizard Skin. I used Lizard Skin on all surfaces on interior, then additionaly covered the floor with Second Skin Damplifier, I am very pleased with how quiet the interior is when cruising along the highway

[cameeks]

what brands are a butyl product and do they hold up vertically

[Frizzle Fry]

FWIW, I tried the peel-n-seal and did not like it. What a pain to remove...

i used fatmat in my '67. works great. i never used any of the other brands to compare it too. www.fatmat.com

I have a roll of fatmat and bunch of Dynomat. they are nearly all the same but different, so pick a price you like and use it.

Which Lizard Skin did you use, thermal barrier or sound? Im thinking about using both. My panel is going to be black and I don't want to chance any kind of stick on barrier unsticking with all that black expanse of metal.

You guys need to check that site out.


As far as lizard skin I saw a thread on the hotrodders bulletin where guys were making their own. I bought some micro balloons, mixed it up with some paint and rolled it on the inside of my cab. Never used lizard skin before and planned on using mat anyways so it was just some cheap help. I think someone on that board did a test and saw a 10 degree difference sitting in the sun from one side of the panel to the other

I think rammaat, second skin, and dynamat extreme are the only ones butyl based, but check that site out.

The only problem with that website is that it hasnt been updated since 05. I wonder if other even better mat type stuff has come out since then.

I used both, I put the sound barrier on first, then the thermal. I think youll be happy with the results
