Sound deadening insulation

[Back N Black]

I'm not ready yet, just doing a little research. I plan to do quite a bit of interior work to my 96 Hoe. The carpet and headliner both need replacement. The front seats show quite a bit of wear, and foam exposed on driver seat. I need to replace atleast one trim panel. After the interior is freshened up, I want to put a decent stereo system in it. With these things in mind, I would like to use a good sound deadening material in it while everything is out. From what I've read, Dynamat is the most popular. Looks like quite a bit of work to me, but that's not really the issue. I'm considering using Lizard Skin sprayable sound deadening material. I have seen it in magazines and on the internet, but I have no experience with it, nor do I know of anyone who does. I like this route, partially for the ease of use. Who wouldn't? Far faster than the Dynamat install process. What I like the most about it though, is how thoroughly the product covers all of the exposed surface.

Has anyone ever used Lizard skin?
How easy was it?
What is you opinion on it?
Do you have any pics of it upon completion?

Thanks in advance!

I've never used it but I can imagine it would be a pretty big hassle being as how everything needs to be clean and dry and making sure everything is masked off. I've used some good sound deadener that comes in sheets and it's worked out pretty well because it is pretty thick. I just pulled my carpet (and washed it) and all trim and sound deadened and painted trim etc. started Monday afternoon, and finished this afternoon. I do think that lizard skin would be good for doing the floor but not doors and inner walls or anywhere where fasteners will be used because they may not fit. Yea the sheet stuff is a lil more physical labor but I think it's worth it

I've never heard of lizard skin, but I just recently did my Tahoe with Second Skin http://store.secondskinaudio.com/

I did a layer with their Damp Pro b-stock 40 pounder (60-90ft^2), then a layer of their Overkill Pro CCF, then a layer of their Luxury Liner Pro MLV. Everything was easy to apply, the damp pro has a thick layer of aluminum which is what is really needed in order to stiffen up the sheet metal. They've almost always got a deal of some kind going on. With Memorial Day coming up, I'm sure there will be up to 20% off on some orders.

They have liquid deadener as well, which can be sprayed or rolled on.

I'd recommend applying material in sheets (I.e., Dynamat or similar), as the spray on material is likely 2-3 times the effort and time considering prep, drying and clean up.

Be mindful that you can achieve a noticeable difference in sound management per panel area even if you do not cover the entire panel.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Well, I DEFINITELY won't be using that one! Gets hotter than two rats screwing in a wool sock where I live!

It just seems like a great product that will allow you to put material in places where you cannot use the mat style deadener. It would be no more difficult than sprayed in bedliner. I have never used any sound deadener products, but the mat style seems to me like it would be a LOT of work, and tricky to apply it over the variation of the sheet metal. I really want to cover ALL of the sheet metal, from the roof to the walls & doors, to the floor. I need to re-do my headliner, want to change or dye all of my interior plastics, and it needs new carpet. Basically, I don't care for the tan interior, and would rather go with a gray or black. Since I will need to take all of my interior out anyway, I figured that would be a great time to add sound deadener/insulation.

For those of you who have used some of these products, how much of a difference has it made? Sound-wise and as far as maintaining the temperature you want?

Dude, how did you re-install your carpet and trim? Three layers of that stuff sounds pretty THICK. Can you even hear your exhaust, or the outside world?!

It's definitely pretty thick. The way I did it was I left gaps or edges where the trim and other things that needed bolting down like the tie downs in the rear hatch went, that way it wouldn't be too difficult to get everything back in. As far as noise, with windows up it's really quiet for the most part, but I almost always have my windows down.
