Sound Proofing

The D-90 Source Bulletin Board: Application of Sound Deadening Material
Posted by ken on Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 08:33 pm:


I finally got tired of only being able to listen to my stereo at stoplights, so I bought Brown Bread sound deadening material from www.b-quiet.com. It's an asphalt based, foil covered material with an adhesive backing, similar to what some of you have talked about from McMaster-Carr. It cost $95 (incl shipping) for 35 sqft, which I think is a little more expensive than the similar M-C product (PN 9709T26). If you buy 70 sqft, it'll be even cheaper. Ebay shows it for sale at $125 (plus $25 for shipping). It seems that all of these Dynamatlternatives are very similar.

Dynamat has a lot of literature available on their website www.dynamat.com for their Xtreme product. It is apparently a
butyl-based material rather than asphalt. Of course, they say they're superior, but for an open truck, I didn't think the few extra $$ were necessary. You can get Dynamat on Ebay for $95 (plus shipping) for 36 sqft.

I applied one layer to the insides of the doors and the floor of the driver's side. Even on the short drive to and from work today, I noticed a big change. I'll do the passenger sides in a few days, and may double up on the insides of the doors.

I'm debating about the bed. I'll either lay this material on the bed and over the wheelwells or Herculine it. Anyone have opinions on how well Herculine works at sound deadening? I'd be interested in hearing other peoples' thoughts on this
installation and on what else we can do to enjoy a little bit of the music from our stereos.

Bed-lining Materials

Yes
We did our whole inside of our 97 the back bed and inside the cab area. The company charged $750 for only spraying since we did all the prep removed the console & dash trim, seats etc. To make it more soundproof we un-riveted the seat hump and all the plates were the feet go and had them sprayed by themselves. After spraying the individual pieces I assembled then re-spray with the vehicle. This made the seat area and battery box thicker.

There are more details on how I did it at:

rhino lining is OK however Line-X is a much better product. you can call LINE-X in California to find a dealer near you

LINE-X is stronger than rhino. Has a consistent rough surface kinda like rough sand paper not like water drops. Also LINE-X has no cure time. When they are done with your vehicle it can be abused that day. It is also

.

I just Rhino Lined the load space in my Defender, after doing lots of research, some on this site. I would do it again, without hesitation. It is very easy on the knees, and is SO much easier to clean than the rubber mat that used to reside there. Line-X seemed way too gritty for me, but did look nice on the pick-ups I saw.

The Rhino Lining application is very neat & tidy. Straight edges, and a real consistent finish. The shop that applied it says repair is very easy. They have a brush-on type repair they do, apparently. Same material, different solvent so that it will cure at a slower rate. As soon as my schedule allows, I'm dissassembling the seat box area and doing it.

I've had a Line-X bed liner for over a year now and really like it. The only thing that Iam not particularly pleased with is fading. It started out very black and now is a charcoal gray. Of course it is in the bed of my work pickup and gets exposed to the sun all the time. The durability has really been great as I've hauled concrete curb cuts, bricks, etc... and no damage.

It's available from

I looked under the Products menu and did a key word search and it came up with the refill for like $32. There's a source for an application kit on:

Subject: Waxoyl applicator info

Someone on the R/N board asked this question and while I have the info in front of me I thought it might be helpful to someone here as well.
re: Where can I get an alternative to the sprayer that comes with the waxoyl kit?

First off You will need an air compressor to use this. It is the Model # 9000 made by Tri-Con, inc Cleveland, Ohio 216-261-3400. from what I remember you will have to order thru JCWhitney as tri con wont sell direct. Call tri con, they will provide the JCW catalog part number. This is a professional type kit and has everything you will need to properly apply waxoyl.

Hope this info comes in handy for someone out there

Hi,
http://www.jcwhitney.com/product.jhtml?CATID=4503
If the direct link doesn't work, from their main page goto "Car Car and Chemicals" and then "Rust Treatment".
The tool is near the bottom of the page. $21.99. Works great.

I have used Corrosion X. It comes in two basic flavors - regular and heavy duty. The regular flavor has a similar viscocity to WD-40, but lasts a lot longer. I sprayed my frame and undercarriage before winter (Utah salt) and it has lasted fairly well. The rust on the lugnuts was held in check fairly well on the spare tire, but needed a respray. I ran out of the regular grade and used the heavy duty stuff in the green can. That stuff works really well! It is about the same viscosity of an engine oil, and when sprayed on stays there. I have been pretty happy with it and will continue to use it (I don't know where to get waxoyl either).

No affiliation with corrosion X.
