I saw a thread somewhere where some guy just siliconed particle board to his quarterpanels for the same effect. Regardless there's nothing magical about Dynamat except maybe when it comes to heat resistance and installation ease. Looks like this Eaveguard is pretty much the same stuff. If it'll stay stuck it should work great. Just gotta find what brand is sold at Home Depot so if I ask someone there they'll know what the heck I'm talking about.  -Fishy |

Bronze Member Username: MinimePortland, OR Post Number: 39 Registered: Mar-05 | The datasheet mentions something about 110 degrees F, but that's in the section about storage while it's still in the box so I don't know. I haven't got around to putting it in the car yet, but it seems like it'll work okay. My only concern is that the back is gritty, kinda like sandpaper, so I don't know how well it'll do layered. |

If you want to do a more solid job, use a spray-liner. |

I forget the brand name. It was called Water Shield or Guard or something. Well anyways it was 64 dollars for 100 sq ft roll. It looked pretty thin, had a plastic backing instead of aluminum, and din't feel all that sticky so I opted for some eDead v1se(70 mil) for about $1.50 sq ft shipped(with discount). The back definitely wasn't gritty. You sure you got the right stuff Nick? -Fishy |

Bronze Member Username: HellbenderLos Angeles, California USA Post Number: 38 Registered: Apr-05 | I found some stuff at home depot called "stormguard" . It had a plastic backing and while it looked kinda thick it wasnt very sticky or flexible. They also had somethign that came in a roll that was 12" x 35' ,I think it was called weather or water shield. That was very flexible and sticky but the label said it was only 25mills thick. I dont remember the price on that stuff. |

Bronze Member Username: ThumperRichmond, VA U.S.A Post Number: 49 Registered: Apr-05 | i believe the off brand dynamat has tar based elements in it so, using that would make your car smell like a freshly paved road. Dynamat uses butyl and aluminum, very flippin expensive. works great near firewall but i wouldnt spend that much money for the trunk and doors |

Bronze Member Username: HellbenderLos Angeles, California USA Post Number: 41 Registered: Apr-05 | This is the stuff at home depot near me.Its called stormguard. It withstands high temps and is a butyl based underlayment. 200 sq ft roll for $67 . http://www.gaf.com/General/GafMain.asp?Silo=RES1&WS=GAF |
