Anyone ever use Home Depot insulation?

just finished my o/t camaro with peel and seal from Lowes, no more smell than the undercoat I had on it and worked as expected. $18.00 x four rolls. pics in albums

 

Last weekend a friend and club mate of mine told me about a product from Home Depot, white in color, 1/4 - 3/8" thick, peel and stick, supposedly intended for use on heat ducts, so it not only doesn't stink when hot, but the adhesive supposedly sticks better at elevated temperatures.

Naturally he was having an attack of part timers (or was that some timers ?) and couldn't remember the name.

Said he and his brother had done his brother's pickup with it a bit ago and it worked great.

Anybody know what that stuff is called?

 

Thank you.

 

Got my order of insulation from Lobucrod yesterday- feels good to help out a fellow Hamber and the service couldn't have been better!

Getting the Caddy insulated right now. Just had to take a break from the heat!

 

The more I think about it all, the more I am leaning towards the ez-cool stuff. I need something that I can pull up easy for when it comes time to patch the floor up. The softball size hole will have to stay until I can afford the patch panels. What are you using to adhere it?

 

Red, we use and recommend 3M General Trim Adhesive #08088. Its a spray contact adhesive and most auto parts stores carry it and you can also get it a few bucks cheaper at Wally World in the auto section.
I personally dont like to glue it to the floor. With some cutting and splicing you can make it fit the contour of the floor without using any glue. Lot of pics of installations we and our customers have done on our website. Click on the Images link at the top of the home page.

Thanks for the business Poorboy. Shoot us some pictures when you get it installed and we will add them to the website.

 

Thanks! The only reason that I would adhere it to the floor is that I wont be putting carpet in any time soon. That is also the reason that I had been looking at the P&S stuff.

 

I've used the stuff but I don't like the smell / fumes released off of it.. Shit melts off during summer heat.... I guess I shouldn't drive my car on 90 degree weather??

 

New here and first time posting, so I hope the attachments come through. I used the foil wrapped bubble type insulation material from Lowe's on the inside of the hood of my '55 Clipper. I used it to replace a filthy and degraded fiberglass mat. I used three layers of the stuff glued together with 3M spray adhesive and glued to the inside of the hood. Spray adhesive not too good on holding the insulation to the hood. Ended up with some 3M trim adhesive and this stuff held. I rattle can painted the insulation black so as not to stand out too much. All in all I like the way the job turned out.

Why did you go with 3 layers?

 

That's the same product we used on the floor of a 68 GTO Conv and the floor and roof on a 74 Road Runner. I glued it down with 3M Super Trim adhesive then glued some carpet underlayment to it then the carpet. It's easy to cut with a sharp scissors. I put the dark side down. Made a big difference in noise in the Plymouth. Don't know about the heat factor. Black interior in a car with no A/C.....hahaha.

 

I'm doing my 53 Chrysler with the EZ Cool stuff. I did the roof on a really hot day with the sun beating down on the car and you could actually feel the difference in the car inside temperature as it was put on.

I'm sold. This is going in the next project too.

 

I use plain old contact cement, spray it on both surfaces and let it get tacky.

Also, from what I've read (and I think this was on one of either EZ Cool or Lobucrod's posts) was that more than one layer was unnecessary, as the first layer blocked 98% of radiant heat/noise...

However - I am doubling up in a couple areas just to add some substance...

 

I bought mine at Lowe's - ho hum performance.

 

I bought a roll of Quick Roof from HD today 6" x 24' for $17.75. This is the stuff like Peal and Seal. It has no smell and will be enough for my firewall, I talked my 21 year old daughter into doing it on Thursday, will keep you posted.

 

Getting there with the EZ Cool - very easy to work with.

 

I know the stuff you're talking about. I have seen it and bought it once at my local store but not all stores seem to carry it. I used it on a non hamb friendly 60s benz restoration to save the owner some money and it worked great!

Got to talk to the fellah that was telling me about the stuff from Home Despot.

It's called Frost King, comes in a 12" X 15' roll (so 15 square feet) for $18.77, looks just like the foam dynamat pads, except grey.

Peel N Stick, Foil on one side, gonna try some on the firewall.

 

Weren't you already "busted" on another thread for selling your wares without being an Alliance Vendor? You want respect from this forum? Then respect this forum.

 

Finished up the firewall and floor on the my coupe a few weeks ago and it seems to have knocked the heat down a few degrees, not so sure about the noise though ha.

Oh, and not a bit of smell at all.

 

I have used reflexit for years. Put it up with "Liquid Nails" on the roof. Has not come down in 10 years. My 48 half ton was dark red primer on the roof, with one layer of reflexit on the roof you could lay the back of your hand on it and hold it there with no pain at noon in full sun. The inside of the doors, the fire wall and the cab back were covered in it as well. Still used the ol jute on the floor, the reflexit there just will not hold up!

Forgot, use a mastic from McMaster-Carr (#9709T39) on the floors and in the trunk area.

 

Finished up the roof on the Caddy yesterday, uesed EZ Cool with sprayed on contact cement.

 

Insulation has been done to death here on the HAMB. Best I can tell, it all comes down to two things: 1) Any insulation is better than no insulation, and 2) you can't have too much insulation

 

Nice job Gator!

 

This stuff? http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay...gId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1

 

where do you get the easy cool stuff? I'm going to have to break down and insulate the roof of my non hamb friendly project, Georgia heat plus no ac, it's got to be done while the headliner is still out

One thing about reflective/radiant insulation is that it needs to not touch anything, or heat transfer by conduction can occur. For cooling fins on electrical equipment without fans An air space of 1/4 inch or less is bad for cooling (good for thermal insulation), but the insulated window and solar collector folks seem to think 1/2 inch gap is near optimum.
I would not expect any filmy foily stuff to be much use for sound insulation.
