[QUOTE="defcon1, post: 1749543, member: 30064"] This is my final post before the holidays... The boot insulation project has been a success. Despite the rush job, working only after I got home...circa 9 pm every night, the job was complete in 3 nights. The bitumen strips are working and the insuflex does what it is supposed to do. The rear of my car is now absolutely quiet... Because I used bitumen strips of only 3" width, laying them down took some time. However, on the plus side, when laying on non-horizontal surfaces, should anything come loose, it doesn't drag everything else down with it... :smile: Insuflex is, however, a bit more difficult. Because it didn't come self-adhesive, rubber gum takes time to use, and it forces you to cut smaller pieces of insuflex and piece them together like a jigsaw puzzle. The sound-proofing, however, is very good. Total cost of sound proofing our boot... 2 rolls of bitumen strips @ $ 28 per roll = $56 3 sheets of Insuflex (3' x 4') @ $ 15 per sheet = $45 (I double layered it...on top of car floorboard and under my MDF floorboard, else you'd only need 2 sheets at most. ...about RM 100 to do the job...which is probably about a third what it would cost using "traditional" materials... :smile: ...next...doors and passenger compartment floorboards... :smile: [/QUOTE]
