Do you guys use spray adhesive to stick the carpet to your Dynamat or FATMAT>????

70GMCer · 10-20-2008, 06:28 AM

I just set the carpet on top of it. Did not glue the carpet to it. Might want to remove later on.

big_al_71 · 10-20-2008, 08:47 AM

I did not use anything other than I also added "JUTE" on top of the dynomat then I just lay the carpet on top of both.....

69ChevyRazorback · 10-20-2008, 07:14 PM

thanks alot guys. wasn't sure if it would slide and wrinkle up if not fully glued down.

cparman · 10-20-2008, 07:20 PM

Big Al's on it. The last one I did was just like his. Get the floorboards clean, vacuum, and then wipe with a degreaser, to make sure that the FATMAT has every chance in the world to stick. Put it down, and then install the carpet and jute like al describes. The noise reduction in the truck will be unbelievable!!

Which one is cheaper?? Dynomat or FATMAT? And how much do you need to do the cab?

LuckyHenriksen · 10-20-2008, 07:41 PM

Jute is that string stuff that is kind of like burlap that is used for padding under the carpet

69ChevyRazorback · 10-20-2008, 07:49 PM

well guys i was thinking of using "EDEAD" instead of fatmat or dynamat. I heard that it was just as good and cheaper, some of it is 1 dollar per square foot. check it out and tell me what you all think of it.

cparman · 10-20-2008, 07:54 PM

fatmat is cheaper, and is because it is a bit thinner than Dynamat. I have used both with good results, and bought it on EBAY. about 50% cheaper than anywhere else. 36 sq feet of Dynamat covered my 67 chevelle. 100 sq. feet of fatmat covered a 71 Blazer, and had some left over.
JUTE is the gray stuff on top of BIG AL'S fatmat. it is 1/4 inch thick shreaded material, that was used on all of our stuff from the factory. If you go to your local auto upholstry shop and ask for some jute the will have it, and show it to you. I get the feeling that there are a few of us about the same age as dirt, and then there are the rest of you! ha ha

big_al_71 · 10-20-2008, 11:11 PM

Jute is the gray factory material that alot of the newer cars have in between the floor and the carpet. Being that I am in the auto business I called my trim shop and they gave me enough to do the whole cab and the back wall.

HoupPhotography · 10-20-2008, 11:27 PM

I'm not sure if it was on this site or not, but someone used some type of roofing material that is the smae material as Dynamat. They used whatever it was because you can get twice as much for half the price.

Anyone know what I'm tlaking about?

i think you're thinking of roof mastic....i tried to find some at lowes but couldn't find any

LuckyHenriksen · 10-21-2008, 12:02 AM

does that roof stuff work? if i tried it should i double layer it

jorgensensc · 10-21-2008, 12:21 AM

My understanding is that roof mastic has a tar base that stinks pretty bad when installed and the summer heats it up.

Oops cant have that. Ill go search evilbay for some cheap dynomat

GMC Jim · 10-21-2008, 05:40 AM

In place of "jute":.... go to a large carpet dealer; preferrably one that installs commercial carpet. A gray or tan underlayment is and was used in many applications. Ask for jute or felt industrial carpet underlayment.... I have gotten this for free when older, worn carpet is being removed from commercial usage.
The material is 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick and acts as soundproofing also.

Do you glue the jute to the fatmat/dynonat/etc.?

No, just lay it on top of it. It does not move once the carpet and the seats are on top of it...

Thanks I forgot to mention the jute has an aluminum backing.... where should the aluminum side lay? ::::::> down on the aluminum sound deadener or up contacting the bottom of the carpet (jute side down on the deadener)...

Mine did not have the aluminum sound deadener so I really would not know but if I had to guess I would say the aluminum facing down.

brendonak · 01-13-2009, 08:40 PM

So how much do you get to fill a normal cab? 25 sqft?
