Dyna-Mat or Lizard-Skin?

    I've been torn between choosing the Dyna-mat or going with the Lizard skin for interior insulation.

    I used the Dyna-mat on my previous car.

    What's y'all's opinion on the two?

    I'm sure the lizards would prefer the Dyna Mat

    I went to Home Depot and bought home heater duct wrap. It is about 18 inches wide and has an adhesive on one side. Used it in the doors and on the floor. For the doors I supplemented the adhesive with some S-18 All Purpose Cement from my local upholstery supplier. THe Home Depot rolls are about 20 feet long and cost about $17 a roll. I did use Dynamat in the roof because of it's superior adhesiveness. I didn't want that stuff falling on my new headliner. In my opinion the Home Depot stuff is great for the doors, floor and trunk.

    Good luck, Doug

    I'd been watching this post - wanted to read some input & get folks thoughts on this...
    My thoughts on this are that the lizard skin, being spray-on (as well as other spray-on type of materials), would seal the metal (?) as well as provide sound deadening - at least hopefully.
    Dyna-mat will probably do a good job of sound deadening, however I see it as not fully covering the components, thus if moisture or condensation get in or on the metal, unless it is fully sealed or covered beforehand, rust will eventually be the result.

    Whatever is done, fully sealing the metal components beforehand is probably a high priority.

    Oh - you might want to consider DEI Boom Mat acoustical products -
