RE: Dynamat

["TJ Noto" <tj@domain.elided>]

I had a HORRIBLE experience with the Brownbread product sold to me by
B-Quiet.  The product itself was horrible, the customer service was
horrible, the entire experience was horrible.  The vendor claimed that
the product was just like Dynamat but at 1/3 the price.  As it turned
out, it was useless.  It would not adhere to any surface regardless of
what I did.  They claimed it was supposed to adhere to vertical or even
inverted (for instance, a roof panel) surfaces but I couldn't even get
it to stick to horizontal surfaces.  I ended up having to return it
(postage paid by me) to Canada in order to get a refund (and it's very
heavy of course).

I would not wish the experience I had with B-Quiet on ANYONE.

In the end I used Dynamat, which I should have used before.  No, it's
not cheap, but it works.

As far as I'm concerned, unless you're building a race car there is a
certain amount of engine noise that you want engineered in to an
automobile.  I like hearing an engine, but I want the body and rest of
the car structurally sound, not resonant, and not noisy.

When I restored my CS I used Dynamat wherever I could put it and in my
opinion it's one of the things which makes the car so pleasant to drive.

TJ
