So I researched sound deadening material. In the past I have used Dynamat and Mastic sheets from McMaster-Carr and some other brand I can't remember the name of right now.
This time around I chose Fat Mat. I got the 100sqft bulk pack. Arrived quick, with 2 rolls of mat material, a knife and a roller (I had 2 already but nice) instructions for install. I did read the instructions but they didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.
Started the install last night. Install was quick and easy. the material molded REALLY WELL to the different contours of the body. I made relief cuts as needed and forged ahead. All in all I got 1 layer so far on the rear floor, rear doors and rear sides of my Hoe. Did a 2nd layer on the wheel wells. I felt I got a lot done in the few hours I was working, especially in comparison to my previous experience.
I am just supremely impressed with this stuff. Easy cutting, molding and applying. I can't talk on the performance just yet, but the dull thud is an indication of it working like it should. The cost was good (IMO), but the installation factor is really high in my book. Although I haven't done this in 10 years so the advances in this type material has of course improved which probably made the installation a lot easier.
Just wanted to share my experience so far, and will post some pics when I get the rest of the truck done.
