tonedeaf Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hopefully that damn plastic 'flashlight' you ordered that matches the other one you keep in your sock dwarer that you won't let the rest of us use when the lights go out.

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) BADOOM! First impressions. Yeah lets just say it's f*cking insane! Anyone who dares to compare this to Peel & Seal needs to be punched in the brain. Specs: Alpha Damp measures up to the specs published, 10 mil foil, 60mils thick. Because of the butyl adhesive as well as the thicker foil, the product weighs in at .6 pounds per square foot with the release paper according to my scale. That is the same as Damplifier Pro. The sheer strength of the constraining layer is astonishing, nothing even comes close. That is a 3.2 pound free wight being supported by Alpha Damp, spanning a 10" gap. Every other product I've tested and/or used can barely support it's own weight without sagging. A 1 pounds weight folds the other products in half (with exception to Damplifier, Damplifier Pro, and SDS CLD Tiles). Cutting and installing it: I actually have a guillotine for cutting these products and have never had an issue, it has made quick work of every product I've had (some 30 of them). Alpha Damp is the one exception, it took a bit of effort to slice through the stuff. A utility knife... again had some issues. Scissors, no way. Tin snips or some sheers are going to be the best method IF you have to cut it. Since Alpha Damp comes in a smaller 10.4" x 14.4" size, the need for cutting has been limited. The butyl adhesive is awesome. Alpha Damp seems to have a stronger initial bond than Damplifier and Damplifier Pro with the adhesion strength getting stronger over time. Just like every other product Second Skin has, heat is not an issue for it. I temp tested it at 250°F for an hour and a half and it didn't melt or budge a single millimeter. Performance: Based on the six tests that I ran, Alpha Damp performs better than Damplifier Pro. And this is based on how well the product can reduce and control vibrations. Strictly based on the data that I've collected and the stress tests that I perform, I am very impressed. Not a single corner has been cut to produce this fine product and it shows. I believe everyone will be very pleased with the performance and quality of Alpha Damp. If anyone has any questions that I didn't address, feel free to ask!

VathanaKim Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Looks amazing I'm definitely gonna have to pick some of that up! If I were able to test it out for myself that would be awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were able to test it out for myself that would be awesome... I know... a lot of people are wanting to test it out for themselves. Just stay tuned. And if you thought other products sliced up your hands, wait till you play with this stuff! Oh and I was just contacted by Chuck Norris and he was wondering how we were able to harness his powers and apply them to a vibration mat. Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me!
