Mike, do you use this material in your 40 restorations and if so, what material do you use and where do you use it?

Actually I do insulate the bodies wherever possible. In other words - wherever it will not be seen. Roofs of closed cars, inside doors, inside rear quarter panels, etc. of all body styles. Typically I use Dynamat. However, I have used that foil backed (both sides) bubble wrap available at any lumber yard or building supply store. It works well and is much cheaper in price than Dynamat. However, you must use a good quality contact cement (not cheap) so the total price, while not equal to the Dynamat is no longer a great deal less. Plus, you have to deal with gluing vs. the Dynamat with the very sticky backing. So, there's two options for you to consider. To reiterate, both work well. One is more trouble, but cheaper...

I use the Dynamat, it works very well. I have used the foil backed bubble material but found that it breaks down over time. The contact cement is messy and if used in a confined space can be dangerous. Dynamat comes in several sizes and comes in black or silver and has a seam sealer tape.

Summit racing has some stuff that is just like Dynamat and is much cheaper. I think it is called "Cool Mat".

I have never experienced a "breaking down" issue with the foil wrapped bubbles. I'd installed this in one of my cars, restored 20 years ago, and it appears as fresh as the day I installed it.
