Dynamat I've got a tough question for anyone that can answer it. I have some cheap Dynamat in my car in which I want to remove and buy some real Dynamat Extreme. Ok so my trunk is completely covered in this cheap Dynamat and I have tried to get all of this crap out. So this stuff is so strong, I have taken the top layer of the sheet aluminum out but the tar based butyl is still in the trunk. HOW DO I GET THIS CRAP OUT?!?!?! I have tried a chizzle and paint thinner. I have had no luck with either. I also went to Home Depot and bought some stuff called STRIPPER thats supposed to take out tar, no luck either. Anyone have any other ideas? Thanks! I know, I'm an idiot, lets get beyond that already

Maybe put the new layer of Dynamat extreme over the old layer...which may even give you better sound deadning?
Why Dynamat? Fatmat is almost the same and half the price...fatmat.com

Why I want the old stuff out The old Dynmat has a lower ratio for withstanding heat. The stuff I got in there now starts getting really wet and sticky around 115 degrees. The real Dynamat Extreme can hold its ground till about 200 degrees. So layering the new stuff over the old might be a bad idea since the bottom layer can still only withstand 115 degrees. Does this make sense? Well maybe I'm just being stupid and I need to just layer it I don't know! LOL, this is simply a pain.... THANKS!

If your worried about heat there's no alternative to Brown Bread..it is bar none the best sticking stuff on the market. Lasts through the most extreme weather and you can do 2 layers of Brown Bread for the cost of 1 layer of Dynamat Extreme. 2 Layers of BB is 1.75 times better than 1 ofDynamat Extreme and it coming off will never ever ever be a concern of yours if you prep your surface properly

Rep Power: 0 It does cost more but I can vouche for the reliability of the Dynamat Extreme in case you are already decided on using it. Like Mohawk said clean the surface and install it correctly and it ain't going anywhere. I've had it in a car for several years and we have some very hot humid weather here in Mississippi and not a single problem.
