It's already a tedious enough job. Why make it harder? Just wait.

Truth right here......Unlike Spectrum (which must be above 50 degrees) Damplifier/Damplifier Pro can be installed in the 40's and 50's it is just much harder to work with. Also you have to make sure there is ZERO condensation on the metal (when heating up metal in cold climates condensation can occur), cleaned with denatured alcohol for sure, the alcohol will evaporate quickly and then you can apply the sheets, they won't bend as easy around your areas. I would suggest waiting for the 40's and 50's next weekend and lay them in the sun before hand. Good Luck with your build.

LOL. Define excessive.

Im sure temps inside my car are 150+ in the summer. Probably more on the sheet metal in the sun, ie quarter panels. Solid as fuck still.

define "solid as fuck"

like when you hit it it goes thud thud.... LOL

yes, butyl will lose some of it's dampening properties over time in even normal conditions. but I was getting more at the fact that it isnt necessary to apply any heat to get it to adhere properly when used within the working temp 40+. will it be easier to work with on a 100 degree summer day? yes... is it necessary? no-
