Why sheets over spray?

[Brandon Etsinger]

With new advancements in the liquid form of dampeners, why are the sheets still preferred over lets say a roll on paste (sludge) or a spray on dampener (spectrum)?

Easier and cleaner. I don't want to have to tape everything off and have to have a spray gun to do deadener

Brandon, it is mostly because there are so many cheap/useless liquid deadeners out there that have made people wary of the liquid product. Unlike those cheap knock offs, Spectrum has been tested to perform as well as 2mm thick Damplifier Pro when built up to the recommended 3mm thickness. Cheaper liquid sound deadeners are mostly water (Check the Polymer content of any liquid deadener it should be up the high 40-45% area like Spectrum, less polymer means more fillers and water) , especially the ones you can spray out of an aerosol can (the polymers needed for proper sound deadening would never spray that thin, that is why a 2mm minimum opening shutz gun is needed). Another reason is because not everyone feels comfortable with paint products and are afraid of runs or not looking good, when in fact it is very hard to mess up when applying Spectrum as it doesn't run like thin paint. The very first project I (Eric) did with Spectrum was a huge eye opener for me, I never would have thought it was as easy as it is to apply. And being water based the clean up is simple with water in the first 30 minutes.

So just a recap:

1 - Spectrum (3mm) performs as well as 2mm Damplifier Pro butyl

2 - Spectrum is much easier to apply

3 - Spectrum lasts as long and stays bonded as well as our high quality American made butyl products (Spectrum handles 400 degrees/Damplifier handles 450 degrees)

4 - Spectrum is less expensive and lighter weight in most projects.

Once a customer tries Spectrum, they really love it.

i really prefer to spray my vehicle vs roll on the sheets. however I do see that it is cheaper to do the sheets overall.

36sq/ft in sheets $200

20sq/ft in spray $175

definitely have to ponder about that looking forward the sound improvement

[Second Skin]

That $175 includes the cost of the gun, the 20 sqft of product (2 gallons) is only about $130.

Didn't even know this stuff was a thing! Will definitely take a look at it.

[Second Skin]

Oh Yeah....it is a thing...and it is awesome!!! Spectrum was formulated by the hands of the founder of Second Skin with the help of a chemist and an engineer, they literally mixed up batch after batch after batch, until they got the perfect results that Anthony was looking for over 10 years ago now. Spectrum is the Bees Knees!!!!

Do you have a spray on luxury liner?

Do you have a spray on luxury liner?

That would be AWESOME.....but unfortunately no sir

[Soundwerks]

What do you guys think about your regular sound deadener and then a spray over the top of that ?

I have Stinger Roadkill sound deadener and then DEI BoomMat spray over the top of that and to also get into the nooks and crannies of areas I can get to inside door, then sound deadener on outside of door (behind door panel)
