Sound Deadening Insulation
Has anyone installed the sound deadening EVA kit? It's like tar paper. Question: Is the plastic film to be removed before installation? I can't find any documentation on this stuff. Came with no instructions. My inclination is to remove it but it doesn't come off easily in a test removal. I think it came from MAC.

I would assume that the film would be removed if it were to expose a sticky backing so that you can press the material in place. I used Dynamat. More expensive, of course, but it really bonds well and made a huge difference.

I used NoizeKiller(so spelled?). I used a lot and got a fantastic result but the wind noise - maybe from the West Coast mirrors - became pretty prominent. The product was adhesive-backed but I also used contact cement on all of it.

If you're talking about the thin rubber like square panels with sticky back, I used them in my 69 Mustang restoration and I don't think it helped much. I think when I do the F-100 I may look for soft insulation.

I just put that stuff in my '77 F350 after installing a loud overdrive. I noticed that the shiny side was a peel-off membrane after I had already cut and fitted everything. With that side up, naturally. Ohhhhh well!
I used it as the base layer along with the fiber mat and the rubber mat from LMC Truck, and all of that did cut the noise of that screaming overdrive by at least 70%. Big difference.
As for the adhesive on one side, that stuff is basically a semi-solid goo anyway, and it probably just doesn't matter.

I probably would avoid product that consist of any type of tar, or petroleum based material?
Not sure if similar or same? I purchased 'sound deafening' material that was petroleum based, came in 12x12" by approximately 1/8" sheets, peeled off the cellophane and attached to the surface. Found on a hot day the odor was overbearing, in my case also installed in the inner doors and in a relatively short time the sheets gradually dropped to the bottom. Anyhow, food for thought?

Installed similar material on floor using aluminum contact tape around the perimeter. Although it was not until I dealt with the whistling vent windows, and relocated the exhaust from forward of the rear wheels to out the back that I notice a tremendous difference.

I'm not expecting much in the way of sound reduction just some insulation from the cold. I agree with the exhaust out the back part.
