The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors sound insulation

i just received my classics trucks mag. and there was an article on queitride kit to sound deaden a truck. the full kit is 428.00. maybe worth it but a bit pricey. just mucing but they has to be a cheaper way. i have read all the post on the options but not all of the suggestions are available in my area even tho i work parttime for home depot they don't carry some of the insulation material and neithr does lowes. ron

I had to go to a real "builder's supply" house to get the mastic stuff I used on mine,,was about $100 for a 3ft x 100ft roll, still got a whole bunch left.

a box of 250 ...foam earplugs is $14.99 ..lol

Just got back from lowes, i have a friend who works there and he showed me the insulation material i was looking in the wrong dept. it is in the plumbing instead of the building materials also found peel and seal it is the same at HD but a different brand. the insulation material is for heat ducts. ron

what brand is the insulation? and does it look like a good idea?and if you dont mind me asking was it spendy?

Hello on the sound proofing. I know I will cause a stir with all of the do it your self people and the substitute methods for sound deadening. I do this for a living at my shop. Use the heatshield material for the sound deadening and heat proofing on your vehicles. This material is available in a single or double face applications. This meets and or exceeds the motor vehicle safety standards for flamibility MVSS 302 look it up for yourself. The heatshield has a fire retardant in the material so you are not going to ignite like the peel and seal if you have a flame of heat conditions. I can get you taken care of for all of the correct materials that will help the heat, sound deadening, and protect the passengers of the vehicle, for a reasonable price. Glad to help out let me know if interested. :o

a great idea

thanks
resto57

ps i use dynamat
also a good product is B-quiet

i just don't like those peel n seal products in 200+ degree vehicles :confused:

What's a great idea??? I read this thread three times and I must be missing something here. The only thing that I got out of this is that you found a product similar to Peal-N-Seal. If your guys found or offer some good products then how bout posting some brand names, numbers, sources etc. You know, something that we can get out teeth into. If I walk into the "real builders supply house" where ever that is, and ask for the mastic stuff they're gonna give me the blank stare.
And restoman, what is this secret stuff that you know about, I'd like to hear more about that also.

I did some repair work for a guy this summer on his roof. We used some stuff that was aluminum on one side, and sticky on the other. It was to help seal leaks on a tarred roof. Cut it with a pocket knife, and shaped it around corners and such with ease. Came in a roll that was plenty long enough to do an entire truck with enough left over for several more. I'll talk with him later this week and have the brand name and where he got it for anyone that is interested. You can e-mail me if you dont' hear from me soon enough here.

Denny Graham,
Please read for the 4th time ...... I clearly state to use the "Heatshield" material for sound deadening and heat proofing on the vehicles. This product has been around for over 25 years. This is the Brand name of the product. By no means is the "Heatshield" product even close the "Peel and burn your vehicle" product. The great idea is that I am recommending using the "Correct" materials for a quality job. Until someone or someones vehicle goes up in flames because of products used improperly in these applications, I would steer clear of the peel n seal for these applications. When doing this step of your projects or restorations do this with the right materials. All of your OEM and quality interior upholstery materials sold have a fire retardant in the material meeting the MVSS 302 standards, in case of a cigarette, sparks, etc. should come in contact with the material. Anyone can go to the Link section of the stovebolt and click on A Glass Enterprise and contact me personally at my shop
8-5 pacific time. Glad to help out. I will work at getting a tech tip set up with pictures, specs, and information on installations, this needs to be done!

Ahhh, Heatshield is the brand name, I didn't get that form your reply, I thought you were using "heatshield" as a generic term.
I'll see if I can find the "links" section and take a look at the "A Glass Enterprise"?
I'd like very much to see a tech tip set up for this subject.
I've got some of the P&S type material and just don't like the idea of using it for much the same reasons that you mentioned. I also have a very sticky 6” wide rubber product that is used to seal the joints in large concrete drainpipe. Not sure if I would want to use it either but it's better than the tar based P&S products that some of the guys say they are using.
Thanks for straightening me out on the Heatshield.
Is this the procuct that you're talking about?

I dunno, but the stuff I used doesn't wanna burn too well. I tried burning scraps left over thinking it would go up like gangbusters, but it takes a long time to catch & sorta just melts away instead of burning. I'm sure it has to pass some sort of flammability tests. Mine was Accu-Seal roofing membrane IIRC, purchased from Little Rock Builder's Supply. It is meant for transitions between roof height or materials. The only downside i have found is minor edge peeling on uncovered vertical surfaces(behind the tank) in the intense heat of summer, this was remedied by duct tape(the $7-8 a roll pro stuff from said builder's supply)
