What does everyone use to repair floor tar sound deadening material. I have some popping up very little rust the cause of course. I am removing a small amount to good sound completely rust free areas and want to restore that to like new appearance. Any suggestions?

School me on this please. Anyone have any actaul technical data indicating comparative acoustical performance of the original to new membranes? Not anecdotal diatribes.
I really dislike the look of the newer sticky membranes (with all the logos!) and they are so thin, its hard to beleive they do much. The original asphalt based mat at least has some thickness and mass to it. The original mat can be removed easily enough (with dry ice and scraping), I cannot imagine how the sticky membranes could be removed without a torch creating serious fumes and possible metal warpage |

QUOTE(JeffBowlsby @ Dec 22 2022, 08:53 AM)  I really dislike the look of the newer sticky membranes (with all the logoso!) and they are so thin, its hard to beleive they do much. Me too. So I painted mine. Honestly, I question how much lighter or thinner constrained butyl mats are than tar, but I don't question their improved performance. Noico mat before paint. At least it isn't slathered with logos but I still dislike the Mercury spaceman look.

Sorry for the color distortion. It is silver metallic. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-20845-1542334603_thumb.jpg) |
