Cheap and effective heat barrier for car interiors Episode 139 Autorestomod 

Thanks for the kind words. We've developed a thick skin over the last 10 years, but do bow up still sometimes lol. Lived up in Cloquet MN for three years, great place!

Thanks!

Makes good roof insulation.👍

Gotta glue it up.

IR guns caution that reflective material and glass might not give you the true readings... But ok.

@Jordy Toby do it was definitely worth it

Lots of street rods over decades, and am doing the pipe reflectors now.

We've looked at reflectors too. Good points.

Thanks for the tips on the POR-15. Normally we do remove the paint, the pans were already in epoxy primer from the body shop. Jeff decided on the POR-15 as a bit of additional insurance. Jeff was out of gloves and did live to regret the lack of gloves.

AutoRestoMod Muscle Car Resto and Modification

POR-15 Should NEVER be used in a vehicle cab as recent tests show the MDI in it releases TOXIC fumes continuously, the health risks are enough to disqualify! Glad I searched prior to installing.

Done a bunch of them. Cars just aren't that air tight.

Don Kingery if nothing else, its an awesome and i mean awesome sound barrier. For that alone, its worth the money especially on a muscle car with 400+ hp and 3 inch exhaust...not to mention it does run cooler. Eventually ,yes, after hours, you are right, its all the same temp. But think about 99% of the people using this type product. They are building a weekend touring car to go to car shows, restaurants, beach, etc. Most of these trips are under an hour. It slows the heat transfer down considerably so much that in that hour , the car is definitely easier to cool.

Yes. On those points, I follow your argument.

I think the denim jute between the foil is there for that same reason

Glad it was helpful!

And nicely you stuck around for all 20 minutes

@@AutoRestoMod yeah I'm an optimist, kept waiting for the good part

I threw it on the GROUND

I would probably adhere it to the truck walls. Aluminum side to the interior.

@@AutoRestoMod thanks. I put some in under a rubber layer but didn’t tape it down with hvac tape. A day later, I lifted it up to run a wire and found moisture underneath. I’m in colorado so we don’t have high humidity but it did rain heavy that night. I did paint with por15. Do I have to replace the rubber with breathable carpet?

Bonded logic doesn't sell the double foil right now, but they still sell a single layer foil which would work probably just about as well.

Remember to ask for Bonded logic when trying to find lol

Honestly that's been so long ago I don't remember the exact yardage we used up but it's about the same area as the carpet on the car plus underneath the back seats

I couldn't get bonded logistics, but found another type going to try bought 2 rolls ,hope it's enough lol

True.

We've redone the interior so it has improved even more!

The product has a fire retardant in it according to the manufacturer. Keep in mind that most products are flammable in classic cars.

@@AutoRestoMod hmmm. may reconsider then. i just read a review that someone tested a small piece that caught and sustained a flame. summit stopped carrying it for some reason though, so i'll have to shop elsewhere.

Thanks! Was it the insulation or something else? The product has a fire retardent in the material.

+AutoRestoMod Muscle Car Resto and Modifications can't quite remember how it was because its been a year since the incident happen but he told me that when he saw the car everything was hardly noticeable but he put everything in its proper place I'm just not sure why though.

The Lopez Way OK. This product is speced for the car market so...

The Lopez Way o

The product is now only the single aluminum side. The company no longer makes a dual side product

Bonded logic is the name of the company and the product in a single layer version is still available at Summit Home Depot and other retailers

They used to have the double foil. It is now only single foil. If I did it now I'd put the foil face down.

@@AutoRestoMod i went overboard on rust prevention. Sanded the floor down, epoxy primer, por-15, then rustoleum truck bed liner, then rattletrap xxx sound deadening sheets, then the blue Jean foil jute pad, then carpet.

That depends on the carpet set. If the Jute is causing a hump, I'd remove it. if not, it is just one more layer of heat protection.

That depends on both the system and the engine's heat development. If you are getting under 50 at the vent it will help. Be advised that the trumax product has been out of stock for a good while at Summit.

ES12a Industrial refrigerant is super cold, straight drop in for 12, 134, 1234. 👍 Less than $20 per car. Mine does vent 43* on 111* day.... In town.😁

True.

Honestly it's not that hard to do. You'll just need to remove the interior and work slowly.

Yeah. But i don't plan to run exposed wires on it...

I know many folks from Motortrend. We are too "hot-to" for their taste.

You are welcome.

Bonded Logic stopped carrying that type of insulation. They still offer it in a single side foil. Speedway Motors carries that.

I will place the carpet with the underlayment (underlayment on top of the Bonded Logic) to see how it lays. Often, I find that the underlayment adds too much bulk.

Thank you for the advice, I will check it out when I get to that point, probably early Spring.

We agree!

We did not. Primarily due to the fact that we are planning to install new carpet in the car down the road. If you use the metal duct tape around the perimeter it should be fine. Our thing is, we'd rather be able to easily pull the barrier and or the carpet out and not have to struggle with the outcome of the glue.

+AutoRestoMod good point. I was going to ask that. Since you did't talk about it in the video.

+von19888 Most big Home improvement centers will carry it. It will be over in the Air Conditioning section with the duct work.

We used metal duct tape to adhere the panels to the floor. We don't like to use glue on this stuff just so that it would be easier to remove if we need to do any work on the floors.

They stopped production of the double sided sadly.

Similar product at home Depot etc for home heating. -$$--

Most but not all spray glues are pretty wimpy. You'd have to use a spray gun landau glue for good tack.

The only issue I have with using it on the roof is the fact that it's a little heavy.

@@AutoRestoMod what's the average weight to cover the roof?

@@AutoRestoMod the one you mention is also not for sale anymore. What would be the best material to reduce heat from the roof? And does it have adhesive already on the material? Also when adding this material can I lay it over the beams? I see in some videos people dont cover the roof beams why is that?

The style we used is no longer available.

Thanks! We haven't used the Armaflex so we can't say.

Baker Akram hmmm maybe. Id consider the flame or burn factor and in that case, rule out armaflex. The purpose built car insuation has a very low flame and smoke factor. The armaflex as i am a hvac tek can easily be chared with torch and puts out an all but deadly horrible black smoke. I cant imagine a whole car of armaflex smoking!!! The rescue team couldnt do anything to save you !!! Ok the last part was a bit of a stretch but it would be a much higher degree of challenge to get to you with a 30 foot wall of smoke thats black as any black youd ever imagine. I know this is all worse case scenario, but for that alone, id stick with a few more bucks and put the stuff in that has passed the torch test

Speedway motors carries it under: Aluminized Heat and Noise Insulation Shield, Double Sided. Www.speedwaymotors.com

Dang Harry, we show you ALL of the important things. Installation isn't hard after you cut the product to the correct size.

Tru Max: www.summitracing.com/parts/tru-30000-12406

True Maxx is no longer available. I will fix stuff in the discription but the video link can't be fixed because of RU-vid.

You can still find the double foil on eBay.

Yep. And keep you from seeing where you are going too.

AutoRestoMod Car Restoration Modification was thinking putting them up while parked only

ashraf pasha I was curious about the mirror too. They do it in Episode 129. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wQkiiPTXil0.html

While I couldn’t find that mirror at NPD, I did find it at Summit Racing. www.summitracing.com/parts/dak-mmr1. I’ve also found one very similar made by Gentex for a little cheaper.

It was called True Maxx but is no longer available in the double foil. You can still find the single foil from Bonded Logic out there.

+fred will Fred, all we ask is that you share us in your internet travels! Yes, it does help control sound too.

Thank you. I have told some people about you.

Could. But we feel that it would have to bond it to the floor.We are planning to do some new stuff that FinishMaster stocks. This will be done on the F100, Col. Mustard cause the F100 is the best tin can we know.

What is the finishmaster product you referred to?

We didn't but Jeff did take a temp reading and it was almost no different than the reading off of the bare floor pan.

So i didn't block the heat? It dosent work for heat blocking?

We'll say that the cab of the wagon was noticeably quieter with the carpet and Tru Mat. But we didn't do a Db test before the install...and even if we had it would have be flawed as the car has enough side window air leaks to qualify them as screen doors. And don't get us started on the back window that is for the time being perpetually down due to window run gasket failure. We will say this: All of these products have their place. We used Dynamat Xtreme in some areas (over the Flowmaster Mufflers) and plan to use Lizard Skin sound and heat control on the underside of the rear facing seat area since this will be seeing a lot of foot traffic when we are shooting car-to-car video.

How con you pay it?

+Logan S Cool thanks for the heads up Logan! We are always looking for new and interesting products. And that video is a couple of years old. Looks like the product is called Rust Bullet?

+AutoRestoMod Muscle Car Resto and Modifications Yes, I"m sorry, Rust Bullet. I have restored 2 mid 70s Trans Ams with it and the science behind it solid. They use it for treating rusted bridges, have govt naval contracts etc. Sprays very well and it won't come off of anything. Once dried I tried scraping it off of a piece and it was like metal. Superior adhesion!! It didn't come off of my hands for weeks. Give her a try. I love all of your videos. Great work.

We'll give them a call and see about getting some in to show.

No, you can use an adhesive but the metal duct tape works really well to keep it in place. With the carpet set in there will be no real movement. We prefer to not put any adhesive down to make it easy to do any work on the carpet or what ever.

Autorestomod Manic Mechanic Gasoline Media wait was the black paint than? I thought that was glue

POR 15 rust encapsalator

+Shawn P Dynamant is awesome and does have it's applications We like the Bonded Logic product too.

+AutoRestoMod Muscle Car Resto and Modifications I've never used it,but I'll try it out when I get to that stage.i picked up a 1975 Chevy pickup "running " waiting for the weather to break before I start stripping and find the hidden expenses

"B-Quiet"... Similar at 1/4 $ of dynamat

Did

We gave information. We didn't talk about the weather. And we did show how it was done.

We removed the factory jute on our application. What we'd recommend you do is put down the Super Insulator and then install the carpet over it to see how it lays. If you get a good or better fit then we'd install the Super-Insulator and the carpet with jute.

It can be heavy with the double aluminum.I'd say that the single foil would be great. Maybe use a contact adhesive rather than spray on. Seems to hold better in the long haul.

AutoRestoMod Car Restoration Modification thank you!
