Heat and sound insulation

I plane to install this behind the gas tank, under the dash. Cheaper then the sticky stuff, and probably just as good if not better. I bought it at PepBoys.

Re: Heat and sound insulation

I'm wondering if that stuff could be used on the firewall and then painted black?

It has aluminum type foil on it. Not sure if self etching primer would work or not.

I put rustoleum self etching spray primer on a piece. Then black paint. It does not flake off when I bend it. Not sure how long it will stay on. Maybe I will just put it under the dash some were, and test it.

Re: Heat and sound insulation

Here is a pic of the adhesive. It gets tacky real fast. I cut the material in pieces, and installed them one at a time. I sprayed the body were the piece would go. Then the material. It was tacky in about 30 seconds. Paint thinner or mineral spirits will clean it off you fingers.

That stuff is crap, I have it in my suburban and it doesn't really do anything.
