Hi,

I don't know if this is made by the same company, as mentioned in Stu's post, but I just recently replaced my worn, tired and sagging soundproofing with DYNAMAT peel and stick. It took a little cut-n-fit to get most of the areas covered and the metallic tape worked very well on the seams. There is a marked difference in engine noise. So, as far as I am concerned, it is worth the effort and cost.

Happy Sailing

I'm going to use Dynamat as well. Cost is a major factor as the foam sheets are hellish expensive here and think the Dynamat will provide more dampening per dollar.

Just my two cents.

I recently replaced the bad stuff in my box with some peel and stick tiles.. Worked fine.. very tenacious adhesive!
