Not effective. Buy some mat if you want deadener, but based on your post and question I am not sure that you follow exactly what deadener is for. Being cheap is fine, but you should outline your goals first as maybe it isn't even deadener you need.

^^^ in other words are you trying to deaden the roof or strengthen your roof?

Audibel Customs...thank you for the only useful input on the subject. As I stated, I should have known better.

LOL, real information doesn't work, but an abridged summary does?

You want to be cheap which in the first step means don't waste money. Outlining your goals first is necessary for that to happen. As a deadener that stuff will seriously suck ass, but again not so sure that you need a deadener.

When I tested the material on a sheet of steel, it performed comparably to an aluminum backed mat.

How did you "test" damping?

Probably the same test Don did with his CLD tiles.

Lol, nice response. Don didn't test damping and that was exactly my point. You can't put a piece of material on two different parts and test it which is exactly why measurements weren't made. The OP just feels that it works better but has absolutely nothing other than his subjective opinion to go on based on a very flawed test.
