Does this stuff degas quickly? How long before the smell dissipates? Or does it remain and reintroduce itself every time the exhaust heats up. I would like to put it in the doors and layer it on the floor and inside firewall. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | I used peel & seal on my entire cab and inside the doors and haven't smelled anything in 2yrs. It gets pretty hot here in sunny California and I haven't had a problem.
I have heard that some other brands that are simillar will smell when they get hot. If you stick with peel & seal you shouldn't have a problem.

Where to find Peel& Seal? I haven't been able to locate the stuff in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Everything Ive read about it indicates its the best way to go? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 26 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 26 | It is in the roofing section of Home Depot. I went in there to get some and experiment with. But, when I picked it up the smell from the petrol/asphalt overcame me. For the amount of work I am doing I do not want to end up with a funk stuck to the floor that I can't get rid of, and the odor every time I sit in the thing. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 | big box stores roofing & or windows dept ... under various names use the stuff they use for window installation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ as to these type product(s) see alan's page: they are ALL asphalt products http://www.alanhorvath.com/54chevy/doors_quiet.php his note says >>>>>> P.S. -- News from the manufacturer: This stuff will hold permanently and will not "run" or slide from excessive heat ... unless it gets over 300 degrees farenheit. :o :o They say, on hot days there will be some gasses emitting from this stuff ... perhaps not too healthy to be breathing ... but after a very hot Summer and me driving around with the windows closed and my AC on all the time, I never smelled anything at all.
