Product Information
Full details
This liquid damping material is for automotive enthusiasts and DIYers looking to reduce structural noise and vibration in hard-to-reach areas of their vehicle. Its key benefit is a brush-on application that provides comprehensive sound dampening and moisture sealing where traditional mats cannot reach. A caveat is that it requires drying time before painting or further treatment.

FAQs
How much area can one 946ml container cover?
One 946ml (1 quart) container can cover approximately 20 square feet with a single coat, depending on the thickness of application.
Can this be used on exterior surfaces?
While primarily designed for interior applications, it can be used on exterior underbody components where protection from moisture and vibration is needed. Ensure it is fully dried and top-coated if exposed to elements.
What is the best way to clean up application tools?
Clean brushes and any other tools immediately after use with soap and water.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The material dries to the touch in about 20 minutes. Full cure time can vary depending on environmental conditions, but it is typically ready for painting within a few hours after the final coat.
Will this product stop all noise in my car?
This liquid damping material is designed to reduce structure-borne noise and vibrations. For comprehensive soundproofing, it is often used in conjunction with other sound-deadening materials like mats or foams.
Can I apply this over existing paint or undercoating?
Yes, it can be applied over clean, sound factory paint or undercoating. Ensure the surface is free of rust, grease, and dirt for optimal adhesion.
Is this product flammable?
Always refer to the product's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information on flammability and handling precautions. Keep away from open flames and excessive heat.
Troubleshooting
Material not adhering well
Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of any contaminants like oil or wax. Lightly scuffing the surface before application can improve adhesion.
Uneven application or clumping
Stir the product thoroughly before and during application. Apply in thin, even coats rather than attempting to apply a thick layer at once. Use a good quality brush.
Slow drying time
Ensure application is done in a well-ventilated area with moderate temperature and humidity. Extreme cold or high humidity can prolong drying times.
Visible brush strokes after drying
Apply a second coat, potentially using a different brush or technique, once the first coat is dry. The paintable surface feature allows for a smoother finish once painted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, dirt, and rust. For best adhesion, a light scuff or primer may be beneficial on certain surfaces. Open the container and stir the material thoroughly. Using a brush, apply a thin, even coat to the desired area.
Compatibility:
This product is compatible with most automotive interior surfaces, including bare metal, painted surfaces, and some plastics. It is designed for use on floor pans, door panels, firewalls, trunk floors, roof panels, and wheel wells.
Care:
Clean application tools (brushes, containers) immediately after use with soap and water. Store any unused material in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The dried material is durable and requires no special ongoing care beyond regular vehicle cleaning.
