SOO......
A fellow Scouter posted this stuff up on Pirate and I thought I would give it a try.
It can be found a Lowes and Home Depot. At the Clinton Lowes it was by the roofing supplies. Basically this is a type of flashing but my guess is it is probably about the same stuff as Dynamat at a very small fraction of the price. Behold......PEEL AND SEAL
So the Scout has had bad heat problems on the floorboard since we back halfed it. The exhaust is almost right up against the floor in a couple spots. Above the muffler is the worst. We melted a back pack in Moab that my brother was pissed about. I did fab up a heat shield after that which helped a ton so Im hoping this finishes the job.
I started off by coating some of the panels off my tranny tunnel. I coated the backside of one and put it in the sun. I put a uncoated piece of metal right next to it. 20 minutes later I picked them up. The one without the mat on it was to hot to hold. The one with the mat actually felt cool to the touch on the other side! That got me excited so I went to town on putting it everywhere I could underneath. I wish I would have known about this before I welded all the floor down.
It also makes a very excellennt sound deadener like the dynamat. You can tell a huge difference in hitting one piece of floorboard that doesnt have it then hitting a piece with it. Im impressed!
The stuff is super sticky and probably will never ever come off. It is aluminum on the outside and it looks like vulcanized rubber on the other side to make it sticky.
The roll is 6 inches by 25 feet and costs 15 bucks!!!
I used a whole roll to do my tunnel and above the muffler and most of the exhaust. Im planning on wheeling next weeking so I will report if I could tell a difference in sound and in heat.
I should have took more pics but I got all excited and forgot.
This is one panel on the tunnel. I sprayed a quick coat of paint on it because it had been left bare and was rusty. After putting it on I tried to pull it back off just for fun. That wasnt happening.
Keep this in mind for your next project :greg:
