Hey all,
Sound Deadening review.
If you are looking for an excellent performing product, that by far is the best I have ever used in 20+ years, take a look at Resonix. ResoNix Sound Solutions – Premium Automotive Sound Treatment Solutions
As a DIYer / Competitor / SQ judge, I've always looked at the best bargain in the sound control dept. Well, after looking at samples and chatting with Nick Apicella who's the brains behinds the products, I was sold.
Now, price. YES, they have a premium cost! However, the performance of the products I used this past weekend were an absolute breeze to work with and performance in my opinion Trump's the costs.
CLD squares.
One word. Wow.
- The foil is so ridgid and the fact that there are no logo makes life easy for those with OCD.
- Foil never tore under pressure even with a hard roller. That really impressed me!
- One thing I would recommend is to acclimatize the CLD to 70° for atleast 24-48hours before use. I had the CLD squares in my cold garage for months and ended up making a warming box to speed up the acclimatize process.
- Butyl is nice and thick and the adhesive is slightly forgiving but once pressure is applied, good luck removing it.
- The backing paper never tore
- I did have to use a heat gun in spots, but this is expected, given the product foil/butyl thicknesses.
Rope
- Butyl was thick, ridgid and pliable
- The backing paper was bit of a challenge and tore once in a while.
5mm CCF(Close Cell Foam)
This product was an absolute joy to work with. The sponge and memory retention was perfect.
- Adhesive was probably the best I have ever used.
- The Backing paper never tore and was easy to make shapes
