@@scottthroop6208 They feel and act quality. Very little wobble and seem to be thoughtfully engineered.

@@honeybadgerwrx I did have a roller that I did use on the sheets I could, but the size and shape of some of the door and other panels prevented tools from being used, as I could hardly (and with many, MANY scratches) get my hand or arm into those areas. But yes, the more surface area to be more firmly pressed into place, the better.

@OutsideTheTargetDemographic no i saw you had one. I'm just saying use it with low pressure and only as needed

@@honeybadgerwrx Ideally, I could strip everything down and cover every square inch. That said, you would hit a point of diminishing returns, where more product would not make for less noise, but only more cost, effort, and weight. Even ignorant me doing this for the first time am very satisfied with the results, and will be doing it to every new car I get. 👍

@OutsideTheTargetDemographic I'm not trying to call you ignorant or say you should do 100% coverage. Just giving you tips and tricks to yield a better end result on the next vehicle to apply it to. Aim for 50%, minimal roller, you'll see it will be more effective!

@@harshtimes23 Hello Friend. It did not. I used some heatshrink, it's a rubber tube that, when you heat it up with a lighter or heat gun, will shrink down and wrap tightly around something. Less than $10 on Amazon for a large assortment of colors and sizes. 👍 I went yellow in case I drop it, a higher viz color is easier to find, and the rubber grip gives you a better.....grip...

@@tylervigue3878 Congrats on the Forester. 👍 It started with the doors, and ended with Insulating the whole thing. It's absolutely worth the effort, and there is so little effort I don't understand why Subaru doesn't just spend the $300 in material to do it from the factory, when everything is already disassembled. Oh well. Now you get to know your car better. 😉

When all done, at highway speeds, I have to decide between having my earbuds play my podcasts on volumn level 1 (just a tad too quiet) or 2 (just a touch too loud). It's made the car more than half as loud as it started.

I'm curious how happy you would've been with using 2 different products from Second Skin automotive with at least 50% coverage.

@honeybadgerwrx I don't know what that is, but even this no-name brand made a massive difference. My earbuds are now at 1-2 bars of volume at highways speeds, when before I needed 4-5 bars. I hardly hear wind, tire, and road noise at highways speeds now, having finished the complete car install.

@@bltefft I do about the same, adding a base of white, then hi viz, then a clear coat. The other benefit is, if your sights are not adjustable, you can paint them to adjust them. Say, you typically hit low. If you paint the front sight only 80% of the way up, your sight "is now lower", which would raise your point of impact. You can start by fully painting them, and then removing the paint to get more accurate. 🤓

@@buffi944 With BOILED linseed, and with cotton rags, I hear they CAN catch on fire. I used UNBOILED, "raw" linseed oil. It takes much longer to dry/polymerize, which to my mind allows it to soak into cracks and crevices longer.

@@CastandBlastfun No problem, Friend. I try to do my own stuff, so I know exactly where to find the SOB that messed up the repairs. 😋 Most things are not as complex as we would believe them to be. 👍 Glad the video was of some help to you.

@@victoriastein2695 I live to serve. 👍

@@MrLex87 Thanks, Friend. I'm going cross country on a 2.5 wk trip, and I have a 44mag for bear, 357 mag for four, two, and no legs (snakeshot), and my 9mm is this Dagger. Light weight, great ergos, high capacity, and cheap enough to replace. Also loving the colors. 🤓 Have you gone the Micro route yet? So far every time I look at the micro slide/barrels, they are sold out. 😒

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic Awesome stay safe on the trip, And good luck! But Unfortunately I haven't tried the micro slides yet. I just ordered the aim surplus slide, can't beat the cost and went with a lone wolf barrel. Runs like a top. Eventually I'll get one tho. 💪

@@omuromakori3427 I used Amazon and Temu, I'm sure you could get whatever from wherever. The thinner insulator like used here was hands down the most expensive per square foot, and I don't know in hind sight that I needed to use it, vs just the Temu 10mm thick foam.

@@FerociousSniper Don't get me wrong, NICE plier that Knipex is, but I'm starting to wonder if their advertising is better than their product. 😅 For decades Vise Grips and Crescents have fixed all the things. And can be found in higher quality steel, at flea markets across the country. Also, see my Altoids Tin video on two mods you can do to your Crescent wrench. 👍

@@secretsix6 That....sounds like a memorable trip. 🫠 Aren't humans just the worse?

@@achappstube1 Thanks, Friend. It's been a heavy but heavily used piece of kit. 👍

@@oldbarnmenagerie2783 Very unusual concept, and I love it. The looks of smoking, from a charming little scene, or iconography, or character, with the aromatic incense. 👍 A Christmas tradition here in my house.

@@jacquelinegriggs9174 While not intuitive, it's simple enough. 👍

@@TheNakedSalmon Ummm, if I had to guess, I'd say 15 pounds? So the weight of 2 gallons of gas. The return on NOT having noise fatigue is worth the weight and wait (ha. See what I did there? 🤓)

@@Jaang29 The plastic covers both 1) don't resonate sounds like metal does (how many plastic drum cymbals have you seen?) and 2) don't rust like metal does. The spray prevents the metal from making/transferring noise, and from rusting (water can't rust metal that it can't get to). So no, I did nothing to the plastic except remove, clean, and return. Between all the videos worth of work I did reducing the sound, I got the car about 20 dB quieter than it started. Every 3 dB in reducion is a 50% reduction in sound. I would absolutely recommend spending the time and money (less than $400 all in, which could be spread out over a few months if your budget doesn't allow for a bulk purchase) to deaden your car. As proof, I have don't my mom's and wife's as well. It's the equivalent of driving with ear plugs in.

@@Jaang29 Hello friend. Hope all is well after that hurricane you got. I used a two coatings, I beleive. The three pack of spray did about 1.5 cars for me. Anything is better than the nothing from the factory. It absolutely made the tire and road debris sound (flung snow, water, gravel, potholes, ect) much quieter. 👍 It also prevents rust up where you will likely never look to find/stop rust from forming.

@@scotttucker2557 Absolutely. These Crossclimate 2s are all season tires that rip through snow, but cost me -2mpg and are not quiet as they do it. Tires can make a huge difference as well, but I'd rather the traction (so far).

@@stephen_crumley She's a surviver for sure. Very pleased with it, still diagnosing a non-firing second cylinder, but she's a blast to ride. 👍

@@MrPaint42 Lucky, I carry my N-word pass right next to my drivers license. 😅

@@jekyll_eth The length is in the title, and some people get more out of it than the six minutes you needed. Thanks for the comment. 👍

@@WKFS Happy to be of help. I've never done ND in any vehicle, but I will tell you it is absolutely worth the time investment. 👍

Are you noise sensitive in general? Or is it part of a longer story on why you pursued this? I would love to do this in the untreated areas of my vehicle. Some after market noise deadening is in place already.

@@WKFS Oh, I have "sonar tech hearing". I can hear a fan being left on in the other room. 😅 In an attempt to preserve that hearing, I figured 1.5 hrs a day, 5 days a week, I am subjected to the road, wind, and traffic noise of my car, so, might as well try making it quieter. I drive with earbuds in, and I went from having my volume set to 5-6 to now 2, sometimes 3. It's an amazing improvement, for little money and time. Also, I'm convinced my car AC and heater work better, because now the paid-for air stays inside the cabin longer, as it has to now get through additional layers of ND material before being transferred out of the car through the metal body panels. I've done my car, part of my wife's car, and my mom's car. Everyone appreciates the difference it made.

​@@OutsideTheTargetDemographicSounds like we have something in common regarding hearing noises that other humans filter out. 😆 It's a blessing and a curse! My goal is to make the cabin quieter for when the music is off and when it's on, particularly for soft passages.

@@WKFSWe are of one superpower. 🤝 I didn't have a decible meter at the start, but my free uncalibrated phone app said my highway noise was max 82 dB, and now peaks at about 54 dB. Its the benefit of wearing earplugs, without the fatigue of expanding foam in your head hole. It will make phone calls easier for you to hear, them to understand you, and your media will sound better. I can hardly hear my idling engine in a parking lot now. The other thing I enjoyed about the process, was I damn near gutted every part of my car, so now I know where connectors are, parts are, wiring, ect. Lastly, you don't have to spend A weekend doing everything. Unlike washing your car, you can do areas or panels completely independently of each other. Once a week, do thirty minutes of work, and notice how every bit of work you do, stacks. You'll love it.

@@billwittman0504 I don't have a lot of time behind the glass, but for the price and feature set, it's a great bargain.

@@Lookingoutthere Thanks, Friend. 👍 Its a decent firearm for a very good price. I'm looking to get more trigger time and to complete two other builds....at...some....point. 😮‍💨

@@Castleknight Simple enough to add, idk if they know about the benefits, or how often people actually use it. 🤷

@@randletaylor6227 Yeah, I was not impressed. Probably won't buy another Bushnell, but I think I got all three of them used for a goodwills and yard sales for like a total of $30? Meh.

@@Big_J The Champion....is that the Swiss Champ without the pliers? Or the big 111mm?

@@pmackenzie415 Ah, glad to be of assistance. And at least someone likes my comments, my wife seems to have groan (<--I prefer my puns intended) tired of them. 🤓

@@fuadasadli5391 Zelda Temu seems to offer and then stop carrying specific items, so you'd have to use keywords to find it. "magnetic 10,000mah phone charger" would prob find it.

@@michaelfraser5723 Cats aren't useless, THIS cat is useless. And I have yet to lose any note I have written on my hand. 🤓👍 Also, lols at calling me tanned...

@@dayledonne8272 as an American who lived 13 years in Europe I agree. The metric system is superior in almost every way. When it comes to doing all the work, I was largely learning as I was recording but if I had to do it again I could do it all in about 2 hours time maybe an hour and a half. Good luck you shouldn't have any problems with it. 😁
