4 rolls of 225mm x10m will do the entire car, doors, floor, boot rear quarters bulkhead, and add another if yu want to do the roof... Will cost about 14-15 quid a roll from Homebase, B&Q, Wicks etc etc etc

If you want to get a realy good fit ( ie no air pockets ) use a heat gun to gently soften it into place.. I've done two cars with it now and swear by it if you want a quiet car..

Read the bit in Bold!!!!!

LOL Bounce beat me to it!!

FTAO Dklawson, I'm sure Flashband would be available stateside. Try looking up roofing suppliers.

yeah, just ask for flash band or flashing tape reckon it would be as much to post as its worth!!!!!

[biggav]

done behind the dash, front inner arches, footwells and part of the roof and only used 1 roll so far!!
1 more will finish roof and rear floor i reckon, then next weekend i'll do the boot and rear quarters.

The car is soooo much more driveable now, may actually consider a stereo, before hand it was too loud to even think about.

So are you using this tape to replace the spongey sound insulation under the carpet.

I only ask as mine are very good at holding water!!

need to sort all the rust holes and then i will use this stuff i think

yeah... when i rebuilt rusty, i didn't bother with any foam... or carpets.... this stuff is highly tacky black stuff with a metalic dull side (non stick) to resemble lead when used in building applications. i had painted the floor pan with Hammerite and undersealed the underside, then rolled the flashband out and cut it into useable strips (about 450 mm long) and applied it... i then cut some up smaller to fill in the gaps... the result is water proof, soundproof but sticky as hell.... i'll reapply the underseal every 6 months as i don't fancy ever trying to get the flash band off for welding!!!!!

[miniboo]

so no carpets just the tape?

got any pics?

[biggav]

i put floor carpets back in the front, i'll try and get some pics tommorow... but i cant find the camera, so will have to use mobile phone, then bluetooth to my laptop, burn to CD, tranfer to the PC etc etc...
