The 1 lb block of Super Sculpey® is ideal for designer prototypes (can be used on armatures), carving bases, and general modelling, since it is a completely dead material that models well, is not brittle after baking and is very chip resistant. It comes in a peach color, but can be mixed with colored Sculpey or detailed with acrylic paints. Can be power carved or sanded after baking.

Little update, redid the inner door skins on my Jeep, I had done some deadening a while back, and it had peeled off.....guess I never cleaned the metal before applying it last time. Did it again, multi layers, wow! I am running Infinity 6000Cs components, it is very tight now. Big difference, the bass is rattling the outside door handle now, looks like the job is never done.....

Having fun I see...well welcome to the club, you will eventually be very satisfied though.
Just wait until you see the look on peoples face when you say "listen to my doors". You'll be a confirmed audio nut then....

A couple of product-related observations:
Super Sculpey can be ordered from Curry's Art Supply in Toronto:
http://www.currys.com/sculpture/prod...=4530&catID=19
CAD$12 for a 1lb block.
As for sound deadening: I found this company while doing some research:
http://www.quietcoat.com/
They are in Silicon Valley and make soundproofing construction materials (panels, etc.) as well as this liquid product. Appears to work like the Cascade product (transforms mechanical vibration to heat) but in a viscous liquid: so you paint it on (it is water soluble).
Cost: Approx CAD$375 for 5gal (enough to do 100-200 sq ft depending on the number of coats); enough to do a whole car (or two) (one can order 1gal containers too). And no air gun, heating, fooling around with adhesives, or cutting.
I spoke to one of their reps and he said that they sell a lot to industrial customers (factories, bus/truck/rail car manufacturers, the US Coast Guard!) Looks very interesting. Once the weather improves I'm going to order some (the surface needs to be 10 deg Celsius or above for application).
BTW, this is a great thread. Really useful ideas. I've been frustrated with my midbass response for a long time, and now I think I can see a solution (more and better damping in the doors - right now there is only a single layer of Dynamat on the interior panel, and (I suspect) nothing on the outer panel).
And the pics are great. Kudos to all.

A few more questions about the Super Sculpey clay: does it harden over time? And if so, does it continue to bond to the metal (thus maintaining the seal) in spite of the vibration and jostling of an automobile environment?
And any evidence of cracking (one could probably add a fibre to the clay to add strength)?
