This is what I got. Very pleased with it. Got mine off ebay...

I'll be doing the same thing this weekend. I can't really answer your question because I haven't done it yet, but here is what the LMC multi-purpose insulation looks like waiting to be installed. I'm planning on using it as needed in addition to the LMC insulation /sound deadening kit.

Is that the 4'x6'x3/8" ? and do you think it's top-grade?

Geee...I think is was 50 sq ft. To be honest I can't rememember but I am well satisfied with it...

FLcustom10 · 08-24-2011, 10:33 PM

It looks OK to me. Here's a closer picture. I don't really have anything to compare it to. It does seem that most guys recommend something else like B-quiet or Fatmat.

stomper · 08-24-2011, 11:27 PM

I used something similar to b-quiet. I found it in the roofing section at Home Depot. It came in an 8" or so wide roll. It did smell like a freshly poured asphalt road in my truck for a while but it stuck well, stretched a little to hug the floor, and made the truck quieter. I'm sure someone will say it contains carcinogens but I'm a risk taker.

I suggest using the BQuiet, Fatmat, or similar PLUS the foil backed padding you have from LMC. The LMC stuff does great for heat or cold "insulation" and not so well for sound deadening. I used both on the back wall, floor, and as far up the firewall as I could. Then carpeted as well. I used the sound deadening material on the back of my door panels too. I have a 454 that is pretty loud. when I first go tthe truck I had to drive home 4 hours with no interior work done yet. I literally couldn't get the stereo loud enough! Now it's very quiet, and warm in the cold Montana winters.

jim-bob · 08-25-2011, 07:41 PM

...yeah, the B-Quite sounds like the one to use..

Rochlow · 08-25-2011, 07:58 PM

I think I might use Lizard skin down the road.. It's a sprayable deadener..

If You were close to me I e two rolls that they use in cold weather shipping keeps product from freezing has aluminum on both sides with air pockets between works great and cost was nothing

FLDBRED · 08-25-2011, 08:16 PM

You might want to use product called Peel-N- Seal.You can get it at Lowes,it's inexpensive and works great!

..yeah John..that would be a trip..thanks anyway.

**bigsnookmaster** · 08-25-2011, 09:28 PM

I used a product called Second Skin Damplifier Pro. It's a butyl based product, so no bad smells. I also used a liquid ceramic coating for heat protection, and a heat resistant foil backed insulation that they also sell. Real good stuff, and my cab is extremely quiet inside.

**MusicMan70** · 08-25-2011, 09:39 PM

Peel and Seal is for insulating ducts....

2wd73blazer · 08-25-2011, 09:57 PM

Has anyone used spray in bedliner before?

It is used in the roofing busines,to seal and prevent ice damage.If you do a search there is a lot of info on it!Some people say it leaves a smell,most agree that it doesn't. I haven't used mine yet.

Just got through insulating my 67 Camaro with Eastwood's Thermo-Coustic. I am very pleased with the material and the installation. Going to do my C-10 with the same product.

..sure would be nice if you would come back on here after about 2-wks and let us know what you think..It seems like it may be a good product!

When I purchased, I chose Second Skin products also...
after many days of research! Not cheap but, I think,
the best of the best.

IMHO...
Other than price, there's little to say good about
the flexible flashings sold at stores. If your truck
gets hot or is air tight, that stuff will smell forever
(I know this from experience!) plus the sagging
and adhesive breakdown is not appropriate for
vehicle use. Keep it around your house windows.
