I want to do my cabin. Floors, interior firewall. Not planning on doing doors.
I'll use either Fatmat or Dynamat, but I don't know how much to buy. Which of the two do people like best these days. Zach |

Butyl is supposed to be the way to go these days.
According to the site is posted that did testing, the asphault based products fail (ie - fall off your car) if it gets too hot or cold. What surprised me is that FatMat, which gets a LOT of praise here, got really slammed in the reviews. Testing was not done to see how the Butyl products stand the test of time. The implication is that they will last longer then asphault based products. Peel and seal was mentioned in the testing. Appearently, FatMat is very similar to peel and seal. Zach Zach |

Does anyone have any photos of a 914 done up? Since I'm working on getting my interior back into place (and other stuff) I'm rethinking the 'lighter is better' bit and may go with 'quiet is nice' instead. |
