foam mat

Got this to put padding and sound absorption in my trolling motor battery compartment on my boat. Does the job, great adhesion and definitely helps deaden the sound

The adhesive is impressively tacky. If yours isn’t staying stuck then you didn’t do a decent job cleaning the panel surface beforehand. And you DID use a brayer, right? This is good stuff; don’t malign it if you’ve been sloppy.In spite of all the nonsense in the above description (WTF cotton???), this is just neoprene foam that you can stick on big panels to absorb a little bit of noise. It isn’t a miracle product and it can tear but it sticks like mad and you can NOT reposition it after a few seconds.Stick it everywhere. Don’t try for 100 percent coverage. Use it in your car doors to make your speakers sound better. Don’t use it to dampen panel resonance (that’s for heavy thin tarry butyl sheets) but do use this to quiet down spaces.I’m buying more.

I have a Jeep wrangler that I recently put a new exhaust on which caused the exhaust sound to increase. Jeeps are not exactly quiet; however, the new exhaust system made it hard to have a conversation inside at highway speeds. Also, the exhaust used a larger pipe (which runs under the left side floorboards) and there was more heat on the floorboards. I tried using a thicker carpet insulation which helped the heat issue, but not the sound issue. I installed the foil backed pad on the left front and rear floorboards as I needed more heat protection there and the non-foil backed pad on the right front and rear floorboards. Both types were relatively the same amount of difficulty for installing, but the non-foil backed pad conforms to the floorboard contours much better. The non-foil back pad is also easier to tear and damage (during install and during use). It seems like both pads do an OK job of reducing the heat, but I was more interested in lowering the noise level. I did notice a small amount of noise reduction on the highway, but not really significant. If you are expecting good noise reduction, this will not be what you want. I may try adding some different noise pads on top of this one to see if that helps. I will also put some in cargo flooring to see if that helps. The jeep also has a removable top which is fairly thin. I was hoping that I could use the non-foil pad on that too for insulation, however, it is way too fragile for this application, so I will keep looking for something for the top. I should mention that other folks said that this material arrive folded which made it a little challenging. Mine also arrived folded which was annoying, but I made it work. Others also mentioned that once this is stuck on something, it won't come unstuck. I had the same experience as well. If this stuff is mis-stuck, you are out of luck with removing it and re-sticking it. I cut mine to shape prior to removing the backing. Then removed a little of the backing at one time, stuck it in place, then removed a little more. This worked fine for me.Pros:- Affordable- Relatively easy to install- Sticks well- Seems to cut down the heat- Non-foil version conforms to contoursCons- Doesn't really cut down the noise much- The non-foil pad is fragile. Not sure how long it will last.- Tough to remove once stuck down

I used this to lessen the whining noise from a new refrigerator, and for that purpose, it works great. I plan to also add it to the doors and anywhere else I can get access to help with my car's road noise.

Product came folded in a small bag. Laid out over night so it would lay flat for the install. Wouldn't lay flat has little memory. Creases would not come out and it kept trying to fold during install.Paper backing rips, will not come off with out tearing. Poor quality paperAfter installing I leaned on it and the foam ripped off the adhesive.I will not recommend this product to use.I guess we'll find out if it holds up.I should have returned it and used Butyl sound deadening instead.

I purchased this to make some computer hardware less loud after changing all the fans to Noctua models still left me with more noise than I wanted (and the last fan I could change is a PSU fan that I don't want to deal with right now). The adhesive appears to be adequate, just clean surfaces with isopropanol first. And it does an adequate job at a very affordable price.You will wind up with small bits of foam and adhesive stuck to your hands when working with this, but it comes off easily with soap and water (which we should all be good at using after 2 years of COVID-19).TLDR:The Good;- Dampens sounds.- Cuts easily.The Bad;- Not magic.The Meh;- Comes folded instead of rolled. This may result in creases at the edges of pieces you want to cut.

Before I begin you should know that this was used for "off" purposes, sound cancelling was not my intention. However as a sound insulator it is terrible, so look elsewhere.I bought this to repair part of my RV. I bought an all weather RV that was not really all weather, resulting in me needing to cut through the thin water proofing on the sides in order to repair and then protect water pipes that were not insulated. However this plastic is like the bottom of a tent, nothing really sticks to it for long. This meant that normal tape to seal it back up were not going to be effective. In comes this, I used it like a large spread of tape covering the entire section that was cut open. It also further insulates the water line.The foam is cheap, but that means it cuts easily too. The backing is paper and if you get it to come off in one piece it is easy to remove, but if it starts to split up then be ready for a PITA backing removal process. But it does make it lightweight.The glue feels like it will stick very well. So much so that my finger touched a spot that when I removed it the foam just ripped apart, the glue stuck to my finger. Repeatedly as I installed it. It did not rip all the way through and the edge that came part was easily cut off the installation. But it shows the glue is stronger than the foam, BUT the foam is cheap as all get out so that does not say much.
