Thread: Uh oh. My car smells like asphalt

Well, I still have the front doors and trunk to do, so maybe I will try butyl(if I cant find it). I think the main reason why I chose Blueskin was because I could actually find it. The shops around here which actually sell sound dampening products usually charge a ridiculous price, so its hard to find anything decent. Please tell me more about this Black Hole product. Where can I get it? A google search yeilded no results.

However, the good news is that my Blueskin doesnt smell anymore (even after I left the car out in the sun for 11 hrs). Now I have to worry about how to keep it on permanently. I dont want it to fall off after 2, 3 yrs like Rudy said. Any suggestions on what I could use? Maybe I can use some sort of super glue to glue the edges of my Blueskin to the sheetmetal? I cannot rip out all of the Blueskin because it is stuck on pretty tight. The best I can do is maybe peel a bit of the edges off.

fair enough ruby i was just sorta wondering, because adding mass to the door panels will somewhat lower the amount of vibrations, but of course for the sound deadening, it won't do much for killing sound waves, but it will make it more difficult for the sound to pass through.

Oh, +1 for Second Skin Damplifier... that's what i have in my car

I've seen a roll/paint on sound deadener that looks very promising, affordable too.

I'll see if I can find a link again....
