Dynamat vs. Cascade? |
|
|
Besides their makeup(aphalt vs. whatever it is) is there a definite
advantage to either? And what about the spray-on stuff in a can-is it any
good?
Here in the heat of summer(deep southeast) will it stay stuck?
With all I've been reading about this, I'm thinking of doing the doors with
the spray and since I got the carpet out anyways...maybe a layer or
two(ain't no way in hell I'm pulling that headliner!) underneath would be
nice.
Any reccomendations, warnings, or BTDT are most welcome.
Vehicle is a VW Quantum Syncro Wagon-I plan to do my truck(doors and under
carpet) eventually too.
TIA

Cascade, being vinyl based, is lighter,
doesn't smell as bad as dynamat,
bends and stretches into corners better without heating, and generally gives
you a little bit more in the package for a little less money than the dynamat.
the vinyl is also superior for the chief purpsose - sound damping. VB2, while
priced comparitively to Dynamat original, will beat Dynamat Extreme in damping
ability. Cascade VB-2HD is out of this world
And what about the spray-on stuff in a can-is it any
It does the job of offering some damping in places you can't get to w/ sheets.
From now until May, I would avoid the Dynamat aerosol. It freezes. Then it
turns to garbage.
Cascade doesn't freeze,
and the cans are a bit more generous.
If you have a compressor and a need to use large quantities, both companies
offer 1 gallon cans (Cascade even has 5 gallon cans), and some even heaver
grade pastes/liquids |

In my vehicles, I've had good luck using both. I'll apply the sheets
against the sheet metal on the door's outside skin (as much as I can reach)
and then spray over it. I just cover everything that I don't want coated
with aluminum foil and spray the entire door cavity. Then the foil gets
removed after everything dries.

I use undercoating that is made from rubber. It sprays on and is only about
6.00 a can. Not a bad deal and it works great.

I've been wondering about using undercoating myself. Glad to hear someone has
had success with it.
I love my 94 Stealth, but man is it a loud car (road-noise wise). I have been
looking for an easy (and not too expensive) way to drop a few decibels. |

No odor problems?
(I'm making up new plastic door liners which should help, but I don't want
any suprises)
Thanks,

Not sure about the undercoating. Everything I've used smells like crap for
a week or two and then goes away.
