87chevyboi Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 i have recently bought second skin spectrum liquid and also fat mat. I know fatmat is not the best but i feel it will work better than nothing. But my question is should i put the second skin spectrum down first and fatmat over top of it or put the fatmat down and then the second skin spray. Also ive heard some good reviews on the second skin spectrum, what do yall think about it as a good deadener? Thanks for your time and info....

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Spectrum was designed to be applied directly to the sheet metal of the vehicle. It is not recommended to be applied on top of another product, especially FatMat since that particular product's "aluminum facing" is more plastic than metal, thus the Spectrum will not adhere too well to the surface of the FatMat. With that said, if you want to use both, apply the Spectrum first THEN the FatMat. And allow the Spectrum to cure for a solid week or more (two is preferred) before you apply the FatMat... though I doubt the FatMat will have a profound effect when used on top of the Spectrum. Also please make sure you achieve a proper thickness of 1mm-2mm worth of Spectrum. Far too often it is applied too thinly. A gallon will cover approximately 40 sq. ft. @ 1mm thick., 20 sq. ft. @ 2mm. So keep that in mind while applying it. Hope that helps and have fun! Edited May 8, 2012 by Second Skin Rep Jon Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me!

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 No problem. And it's perfectly safe to apply to the roof and doors. Just apply it in thin coats so that it doesn't run or drip and you'll be good to go. How are you planning on applying it? Sprayer, roller, brush? Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me!

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Spray is the best method. It's faster and produces a much better finish. Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siete_Cinqo Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Make sure you clean the spray gun's really well after use. I have been through like four of them in the last year. Quote Random vids of the Avalanche My link Team Bass-Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siete_Cinqo Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Maybe Jon knows of a better way. I just clean out the container and fill it with water. Then spary out all the water in the container so that it cleans out the gun. Quote Random vids of the Avalanche My link Team Bass-Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Skin Rep Jon Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yep, that's pretty much it. Spectrum cleans up with just soap and water. It's best to keep a bucket of water to submerge all the spray gun parts in immediately after each use. This will help prevent buildup and keep the Spectrum from permanently gumming up the spray gun. Pretty much never let the Spectrum dry in/on anything that you don't want it stuck to. Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
