that is the stuff although i dont nkow who told you to do that after dynamat. personally i wouldnt put that in a car that you plan to ever sell with any value. you will not get that stuff off and do yourself a favor and wear gloves. you can use it in some spots where dynamat cant be placed but it will expand and push out panels so be very careful where you put it.

Doesent seem like a bad idea for a trunk lid. Do you think it could ruin a trunk lid?

i dont know how your trunk is but i would just dynamat it up, i dont think it will hold to great stuff and greatstuff looks like sh;t so i wouldnt put it over dynamat either, do what you want with it, im sure it will help the rattles and stuff i just dont think i would recommend it for that.

BQuiet has replaced BrownBread, which is the best sound damper ever made. BQuiet Extreme is about 5times more efficent than Dynomat, its pretty much lab proven and from past experience with it, I know for a fact its better. I would just utilize the BQuiet Extreme and not even worry about the great stuff.

Yeah, it looks like it doesnt do too well in the sun or heat, but I have used dynomat extreme on cars before and brownbread and I swear I heard the difference. Oh well, who cares...

try this, take a empty plastic coke bottle and shoot it full of great stuff foam and put the lid on it quick. about half the time the bottle will explode from the presure! if it don't tomorrow you will have a nerf coke bottle

i did the lid of my neon, now i have those gaps,obviously u only put it where there's gaps between metal and metal, fill the holes till alil bit comes out, let it dry and scrape it flush with a razor, then put the dynamat over all the areas u were gonna use, but word to the wise, it gets everywhere and will not come off, especially your hands and what not.

That stuff is awesome! When you are happy with the final shape be sure to hit it with a brushing of resin then paint it black to keep from discoloring. I used a razor sharp filet knife to trim and if you notice I even filled the 6x9 holes.Use cardboard with a layer of 3m tape to keep from sticking. Don't worry about the former leakng to much as you just need a general shape. polo..

So much for the resale value of that car lol.





Also, nice pic of the murder weapon.




I like great stuff, but it's a permanent item ya know? Also, how do you keep the sh1t from clogging the tube when you don't use the whole can at one time?

You don't, one shot deal! As far as permanant it can be removed! If you notice I painted the the metal with the bedliner, this is a natural adhesion promoter and if need be it can be scraped up and to remove the greatstuff just use a torch. First you need to use a digrinder with a 3" wire brush attacement. This has actually increased the value on my vehicle, I have saved all the interior panels, it would all go back together nicely..:-O Polo..

it does discolor quickly it seems with natural light since i have alot of it on my workshop floor from only this past sunday & today its looking creamish compared to the almost white it was originally ...

according to the can it expands about 2-3 times ....does stick to sh1t easily too ....comes off ur skin if u use laquer thinner .....

sound deadener inside/out + 7 cans of greatstuff.

It helped out my mustang trunk tremendously. I'd go ahead and get a few cans. Make sure you tape off and cover area's you don't want to get messy, and wear gloves. That stuff is awful to get off.
