Hi Bill,
This stuff works quite well. I'm using it everywhere in my cab...floor,
firewall, roof, behind and under the seats, etc. I'm putting a double
laye on the floor and firewall for extra sound dampening.
A little tip though...you can buy it quite a bit cheaper at any home
repair place, like Eagle or Home Depot. It's used as pipe wrap.
