How Do I Install This and Should I Put Any Sound Deadening On First?
There is no immediate requirement to place sound deadening first unless you are looking for best in class performance. If you are, you can apply ButylMAT high performance UK manufactured sound deadening first.
If you are fitting ButylMAT classic car sound deadening first, cover approximately 20-100% of the area dependant upon the mass vs performance requirements of the classic car you are insulating, focussing the mass near noise sources within the vehicle (e.g wheel arches, transmission, engine bay) Then....
Use a templating material to gain a good 2D form of the area you are looking to insulate with premium classic car sound insulation, old cardboard boxes, newspaper taped together or professional templating material will work.
Lay this template on top of one roll or two rolls of VBLAM classsic car soundproofing and mark out.
