I did a search, but I cannot find the results I was looking for. In short, who has used it, and what is your impression. I ask because I found 196 Sq Ft today for $88.00, and thats vs 80 sq feet for $200.00 of Brown Bread. I Have heard it does not stick, and stinks, and I have heard that some cannot get the stuff off, and it works great. Ideas?

You're about to have a bit of a debate on your hands here.

Everyone has a different opinion on the topic, so in the end you'll have to read through a bunch of posts and form your own opinion.

Here's my experience:

I've used Ice Guard on the interior panels of my Mazda 323. It was cheap and I'm not in to hardcore SQ so it did the job as well as I needed it to.

I have some Dynamat at home (regular and extreme) and it seems to be very similar.

I would use it again in my daily ride, but if I were to build a competition vehicle I'd probably go with the real deal. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

See I was thinking about doing the floor and the bottom of the trunk in ice gaurd, then any vertical sufaces ie. doors, trunklid, trunk walls, in brownbread. Thats my plan so far, but I just am not sure.

I've used ice guard. I found that it was just about as sticky as most other sound deadening products but it did leave a tar like smell in my car when it got hot out. Since that time I have stuck with the genuine Dynomat. I find it requires fewer layers and I don't have to worry about the smell.

primi, you have the right idea.. The iceguard stuff can work well on the floor, or other horizontal surfaces.. But when it comes to the doors, roof and other vertical area's, stick to the real stuff like brown bread.
