why is the mega pack so expensive? its twice the coverage, but three times the price...
For a bit more information I've posted the thread I made up for other forums below:
I have access to a new product made to the same specifications to Dynamat Extreme:
The details of which are below:
Total Thickness: 1.7mm (70-75mil) Approx (same as Dynamat)
Surface Coating: 0.12mm (5mil) aluminum foil reinforce liner(same as Dynamat)
Core material: black butyl (same as Dynamat)
Back: wax paper release liner (better than Dynamat it doesn't deteriorate like the paper backed stuff which can be difficult to remove)
The product has no logo simply for the reason it appeals to genuine restores, builders and repair shops. As genuine vehicle builders will know, it is difficult to source OEM spec materials, let alone ones without marketing graphics pasted all over them. In my opinion these things can date the build of your vehicle especially when trying to improve it and not bastardise it. The lack of logos also reduce wastage from trying to keep the logos lined up.
How does it compare to "Dynamat"; it doesn't have Chip's head on the box and is manufactured directly for an Australian company not an American one, therefore I can get it at a competitive price. I am passionate about building cars therefor focused on usable quality and afford-ability of product.
Besides the acoustic and heat insulation properties, lining the insides of exterior sheet metal is quite beneficial when it comes to surfacing and paint prep, more so on later model thin metal vehicles. The foil coated sound deadener adds a second skin to the doors (for example) stiffening them up when they are sanded.
Un-branded aluminum coated butyl mat is suitable for the genuine vehicle enthusiaist / builder who demands today’s high end performance, without the aftermarket generic branding that can date your vehicle.
Butyl Mat is today’s lightweight alternative to traditional bitumen underbody and inner body dampening. Butyl Mat has a high temperature resistance and together with an aluminum foil coating it works to reduce the transfer of heat and sound coming in and going out.
The package contains
9 x Sheets @ 460mm x 810mm
Total area = 3.35m2 or 36sq ft

This product retails for $200 per box + $20 shipping which is about $20 cheaper than Dynamat.
I can get the price down to $150 per box + $25 shipping if I can get orders for 25 boxes or more.
I have advertised this same group buy on a couple of other forums to help get the numbers up so we can get this deal even if the numbers are not possible on this forum alone.
The supplier has about 20 boxes ready to go, then the next batch will be ready is 10-12 weeks time.
This will suit most people as not everyone has the money or are ready to buy instantly, however if you are ready to buy now I will be supplying those who commit to purchase first regardless of which forum they are on. This could mean that I have 3 firm orders on this forum and 10 firm orders form another forum which is the first batch sold out, therefor meaning anyone else will have to wait for the second batch. As I said, this will not be a problem for most people, however I though I should outline the situation to prevent any heartache.
I will be having the product shipped to me and then will distribute the orders personally to prevent having mistakes made by a third party. This also means you can make payment to me direct so that I can keep track of the whole process personally. I have increase the shipping charge by $5 to help cover the second shipping cost.
Anyone that is interested is more than welcome to comment in this thread, however when you want to make a firm order I would prefer a PM so that I can get your name and address for shipping, as well as to discuss payment and keep track of orders...
I am willing to accept bank deposits, or cash (if you are in perth), or money orders(if you are not in perth)
For anyone in perth wanting to reduce postage I am happy to have orders in perth picked up, or deliver them within reason for fuel costs, or to bring them to any cruises I may attend - I will still be charging the $5 per box to help reduce the extra shipping cost as described above.
If you have any questions not covered above, let me know and I'll attempt to clear up any confusion.
Cheers,
Matte
