Insulation and Sound Deadener

[Truck]

Hi Buga's,

Have come across Lizard Skin in Hot Rod mag for insulating and sound deadening and just wondering if anybody has used and if so what there thoughts are.

This intrigues me, after a recent post re; ceramic coatings and  headers etc , I thought  that the ceramic magic was the ducks nuts, but after reading Matte's post, finding that the coating actually retained the heat, is, that if it's for the Beddie floors (exhaust heat) it will be ok for ten minutes  or until it's up to temp then retain the heat defeating the purpose....I just fitted an heat shield between the extractors and floor (creating a second floor with void) and heat foam to the engine cover and it has made the world of difference... I will look further at this product for you Truck, and let you know, I also use a oil based heat / sound deadener  that is very good ( and more than likely the same product) with an special applicator (it's the key) but MAN, it is extermely messy and gets everywhere, requiring a lot of masking / prep work. But well worth it. And for the record...FORGET THE BRUSH APPLICATION IDEA !!! BAD BAD BAD IDEA!....lol

Good stuff Dano and some very good points with regards to heat retention. A little late to do on the Beddy now but thought I may give it a go on engine cover prior to applying dynamat to eliminate heat. Look forward to any further info you come across.

im installing dynamat at the moment on the floor , new engine cover will do every where eventually

[Dano]

Dynamat is good for noise suppression, I then used a cloth under felt for further heat ins, but looking at dynamats other foam based products and or  a high density thin foam similar Martial arts mats...will get back to this a bit later as have family crashing over at the mo...

Carpet underlay works good,

Hi there, I don't have any experience with heat or sound but I have done some research recently and found that Dynamat have a full range for all areas and that it is not just one product to do the entire job. Dynamat have their Dynamat Extreme as the base product and then Dynaliner on top of that for the cabin, floor, doors, roof. They then recommend Hoodliner for under the bonnet and DynaPad as the noise barrier. They have a PDF on their website for each product which I found very logical. John

I priced some of the dyna deck carpet $1500 is a bit much I think but will be fitting dyna mat and the underlay carnt remember what its called

I'll post some pics of different Dynamats tomorrow for you all

here's a few...
The grey aluminium lined is what I used on the inside of the engine cover, to repel heat and oils etc, $65.00 got me a lineal metre (1370mm) Good to work with quite soft/pliable.
Next a polyeurethane I think, high density, not too pliable, brilliant heat insulator, melts easily with welders slag /soildering iron, water resistant....I will use this on the floor for heat, next time I think, as I still want the firm feel, we also use this to line boat hulls /cabins before we trim them, also a floatation assistance should thing go pear shape.... all foams are expensive and can be cut to the thickness you want.  Martial Arts mats..
The pink is a house insulation I "aquired" I've used this on the inside of the roofs before the rooflinings go in. It also is Aluminium lined, and med density.

A HUGE tip... dont buy from Clarke Rubber as they are rapists ... do your research, find an upholsterer, and ask where he gets his foam from etc they are around, he might want to sell it too but compare prices as I still think he will be way cheaper.
