afrakes Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I've never used sound deadening of any kind, and this upcoming week I will be using damlifier pro on my trunk. I know I need to clean the metal surfaces before I apply the material, any suggestions on solutions? Does rubbing alcohol work well? Also, any tips/tricks I should be aware of for the areas I need to leave uncovered, like the rear deck speaker cut outs or where the wiring harnesses/screws need to be coming through the material??

soundstream15 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Just soap and water works fine Leave the holes alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Get a good comfortable razor to cut the damp with to fit sizes in. I like this one if you don't already have one. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEwubbsZ Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I'm going to be applying mine next spring and i have never done it before either so be sure to post anything you notice that would make it easier as well. 2000 Ranger Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 A good pair of thin but strong gloves would be good too, to try to avoid cuts. I used thin Mechanix gloves like this http://www.mechanix.com/fastfit-glove UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasta Prime Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I always keep my heat gun handy when I apply deadner. it softens it up a little and makes it go on so much nicer. It gets hot quick though so do wear gloves or suffer like I usually do. lol New build coming........

Lbox88 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 What I did was take my sheet of damp that I was about to lay, then before taking the backing off press it against the surface to form and any spots that stick out would press a little bit of a form into the backing, cut out at those spots to avoid covering wire mounts and stuff.

Jessica Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I thought that getting cut was a sign you were doing it right, lol. Guess i should buy some gloves. I used soap and water then followed with alcohol and i wasn't drinking it this time. Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.
