mattie Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 You could easily use a bulk pack if you did it properly, I did 3 layers of a mix of x-treme & original on the back of the door cards...then you've got the inside of the doors, the boot etc. I know the x-treme & original Dynamat make a noticeable difference and therefore would go for the bulk pack - its worth it if you've spent money on a good system. I heard Ivanhoe and the likes work but you need more of it to get the same effect as Dynamat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffro Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) Id go with Dynamat Extreme or Second Skin. Second Skin is supposed to be a little bit better. Available from CAD and cheap for what you get. Liquid Stuff (40sq ft equivilent) This stuff is pretty cheap!General MattingAlthough I think it is so popular there is a waiting list!I wouldn't bother with anything that is bitumen based (brown bread, dynamat original) if you can afford better as this stuff is basically "flashing tape" anyway.

Philplop Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 how do you cut the perfect circles?!?!?!?!?! cheersUse a router mounted to a jig. It's fairly easy to make one, get a smooth flat piece of wood (I used a piece of laminate flooring) drill the holes to match the base plate of the router and countersink them. Fix it with machine screws, measure the required distance and knock a nail through into the piece of wood you're working on. Hey presto! Job done!
