Sound deadener...

I have two sound deadeners to choose from. One is eDead other is called fatmat. Both the same thickness of 45mil. I just want to know if they are any good (Ive heard of deadeners that don't stick and are to hard). You guys know if they are good?

Wow, the guy speaks so passionately about sound deadening in general ... interesting.
I have some product sitting in my basement. I guess I have my answer as to whether or not to install it. Good read, will read through it all very soon.

I didn't make it to the conclusion yet. I've read all night yesterday and I'm only up to page 327 of tome III.
Another 600-700 hundred pages and I'll get to the individual tests.

Ha! ha! ha!

I've worked with both and Fatmat seems to be Brown Bread under a different name as far as smell, color and feel go. eDead is poop... best bang for the buck is B-Quiet ultimate

Anyone heard of:

50^ New Butyl Sound Deadener Deadening Quiet Mat - eBay (item 270378005875 end time Apr-28-09 08:03:13 PDT)

This is way cheaper then B-Quiet ultimate or RAAMmat BXT and apparently is butyl based. But then it might be a scam :/.

P.s. Its not listed or mentioned in the showdown thats why I'm asking You guys.

google says nothing, the distinct wrinkling in the pic looks like resisto roofing matt but can't be sure without seeing it in person
