Re: hush mat?

Yes, if you don't waste any

I used paper to make templates for the curvy parts of the floor so it would pay flat. Worked very well.

Re: hush mat?

You might look at peal and seal from Lowe's same stuff basically and cheaper. This is the only link I found quickly but it comes in much wider rolls, 3 ft I think.

Re: hush mat?

Wear thick gloves the edges are sharp on some brands.And a good floor roller to smooth it out helps a lot.

Does this provide sound proofing equivalent to the hush mat?

peel-n-seal, hush mat, fatmat, etc. dont really soundproof your truck, there more like dampners. they kill rattles & vibrations in your sheet metal. if you want real noise reduction, lay in some lead or mass loaded vinyl or something similar. peel-n-seal will kill rattles in your sheetmetal, but it's more asphalt based instead of butyl, & usually your truck will stink for a few days. it should also not be used on overhead surfaces, in really hot or really cold weather, it can fall off. i recently put fatmat & mlv with a foam decoupler in between in my crew, difference is like nite & day

Re: hush mat?

I have Peel & Seal in both my trucks, no "smell" issues at all, ever. P&S is NOT as good as the name brand stuff, and yes, it will fall off the roof in hot weather.

Re: hush mat?

No smell experienced, course it is usually laid down well before a car is finished and is let open in an open shop, so we may not notice it. As far as releasing from the roof, I have seen that in the Florida heat, one of the cures is to overlay it so it sticks to itself and use the supports in the roof structure to trap it in place, this would not work in a truck with no exposed support beams. Is make a vehicle CONSIDERABLY quieter and cooler in my experience.

Re: hush mat?

Peel n seal is better than nothing at all and is comparable to a few of the name brand dampeners. That being said it is not made for sound deadening. I found a link somewhere where they legitimately tested its sound deadening qualities compared to a real sound deadener.
Results were with 100% surface coverage with peel n seal, equivalent to 25% coverage of real sound deadener.
