We install Dynamat on all of our interiors. After an simple experiment =
you will see how well it works.

Take a small piece of Dynamat say about a 12=E2=80=9D square piece. =
Stick it to a piece of sheet metal. Then take a heat paint strip gun and =
putt on high and direct it straight at the Dynamat.  However first you =
need to heat another piece of sheet metal. Hold your hand on the back =
side of the sheet metal. In a very short time you will not be able to =
touch the sheet metal. Then try the same thing on the piece with the =
Dynamat. =20

I will let you all come up with your own answer. But this is what sold =
me on installing Dynamat on all of our restorations.
