I used duct insulation several times. I found that spraying the panel with spray adhesive and letting it tack will hold the insulation permanently, even in high heat.
We wondered if that would cause a problem with the factory adhesive. The stock adhesive seemed to hold well. We've used the trim adhesive (spray) with limited success but we might try your suggestion.
Found your channel looking for ways to make my #2ndgencummins bearable to drive at hwy speeds. As someone that’s been in the coatings trade of one form or another for 25yrs, it makes me happy to see you not only preaching ppe but also wearing/using it! Thanks for sharing, James!
I used this exact insulation on my 1968 Mustang under the headliner and on the cardboard rear seat to trunk divider. Frost King also makes a non adhesive insulation that works great to fill out the sail panel of the headliner
Works great on noise, I live on the North Coast of California so it never gets over 80 but when the sun is out I don't get any heat from the roof. A wall paper trim roller works great to apply it as was mentioned in the video.
I've used this Frost King product to isolate firewall heat before. It does cut down on the heat transfer, but in the future I think I'll supplement with a spray on lizard skin type product in addition to this stuff. I'd also recommend some sort of additional tacky adhesive to help secure this material. Once it goes through several cycles of serious heat (engine & trans type heat), the original adhesive tends to give way. Otherwise it works as an alternative to the higher priced stuff.
Not sure. I think if we add and additional shot of adhesive spray or glue tack, it would definitely help it to adhere. I do know the unsupported frost king material in my (overhead or vertical) application didn't hold over the long haul. When I redo it, I'll definitely use additional glue regardless of the application surface. I do think the combination of Lizard Skin and Frost King should make for a significant reduction in transmitted heat.
@@AutoRestoMod I'm sure the items you have used pound for pound and dollar wise its a better option I just grabbed what was near by I think if i was doing a full kit another source and about $80 to $100 would be avg
We'd use Tru-Mat from Summit Racing for the floors. The Frost King can be a good insulator but we have heard of people having issues with the product not sticking on the doors well.
Please tell me you guys waited a week for the enamel paint to off gas and cure before sticking Frost King on it, or else you could have issues later down the line
Is spraying paint on bare metal better than spraying primer? im working on my first classic trying to do it right the first time im hoping to tackle roof this next week!
Would the super insulation from Summit Racing that you used in your Fairlane be a good roof insulation? And would I just use a 3M adhesive to stick it on? Any info will help, 19 years old fixing up a 72 Nova for the first time.
Cody, you can use it but we're not sure about depth. It may be too thick to clear the bow. We'd recommend using a contact cement for the roof if you are going to go with the TrueMat. It is heavier than the Frost King.
I have a question for you, maybe you can help. I've watch a couple of your videos on sound and heat insulation, I have a 1965 V8 Mustang. From your expert experience what would you say is the BEST product or company to use for Sound/Heat insulation that really works well? Thanks for your reply
True Max. Bang for the buck it is my go to. BUT in places where that is impractical, like my wagon load area, I will use Lizard Skin all day. Great product.
I'm looking to apply sound insulation to my car, do you recommend frost king as a good option instead of the fancy and expensive "car specialized brands"?
We really like the Truemax from Summit for floor insulation and the Frost king seems to be an OK roof insulation. Gluing (the factory stuff on the Frost King) seems to be our only worry.
We use what the average joe can easily get just about anywhere. I don't know that I was looking for "pro respect". What pro would even use VHT? A pro would use a high quality two stage paint. A pro would have a paint booth, Sata detail and full sized spray equipment. The pro would have filtered air, dual regulators, and a paint suit. We do what we do for the enthusiasts who does not have the pro gear. VHT is a great product, I use it, SEM and Rustoleum. If the color is not available in one brand, I use a different one.
@itsdatruff: Spot on. Thousands appreciate having someone willing to share what's in their head and what their hands have done before us. I wished I had teachers like these - I would never nod off, either. On top of that, these guys are real and unpretentious. Honest blokes, breaking intimidation barriers and making it dang fun to be wrenching/watching. :-) If I was in their neighbourhood, I'd bring hotdog buns, too. ;-)
Just want to say thanks for all the video content. I am resto-modding a 68 Camaro and all of your videos are extremely helpful!
Thanks for the kind words. We plan on jumping back in our '68 '69 Camaro stuff in 2023.

Thanks James. Sometimes we do forget it in the heat of battle I must admit.

How well did it work to reduce sound and heat?

I was thinking about Lizard Skin also, but would the product be able to stick to that extra bumpy surface?
Not sure. I think if we add and additional shot of adhesive spray or glue tack, it would definitely help it to adhere.

Gorilla 4 inch rubber sealant tape ...i used it on my doors for sound deading no vibrating with heavy bass notes worked great
Like it! Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for your great information and especially for the parts numbers.
You are welcome. We should probably let folks know that the part numbers are in the "show more" section in our lower thirds.
Could you use this for sound deadener and insulation on the floor and inside the doors? or would you use something else?
We'd use Tru-Mat from Summit Racing for the floors. The Frost King can be a good insulator but we have heard of people having issues with the product not sticking on the doors well.
Please tell me you guys waited a week for the enamel paint to off gas and cure before sticking Frost King on it, or else you could have issues later down the line
Always. If it stinks we wait...
sweet show
Scott Dore,,,,,frostking duct wrap, available at your favorite home store.
What was that can of black Rustoleum you used? Just regular spray paint, or some kind of special coating?
more first gen camaro vids pls!
We'll be doing a good bit to this car as time allows.
Is spraying paint on bare metal better than spraying primer? im working on my first classic trying to do it right the first time im hoping to tackle roof this next week!
No, only more expedient. Go with the products recommendations for application.
Does that frost king block heat coming from the roof

How did the Frost King hold up?
As far as we know the headliner is in and holding. We haven't seen or heard from the owner in a few months.
I’ve heard that old factory roof insulation has asbestos in it. Anybody know?
At least on Ford stuff as far as I can tell it's fiberglass

is this the frostking duct wrap or is this a cheap auto sound deadening?
The Frost King Duct Wrap is part number FV516 and is available at most home improvement centers.
dude you should be wearing something to cover up your hair too
Spraying RUSTO? You lost me... I thought you guys were serious... Use VHT and you might get some pro respect.

You talk to much...
Don't watch.
blinko656 better than not talking at all BTW if you can do the video better do it.

Wow it's like he is thoroughly explaining leaving as few questions as possible at the end shame autorestomod for being so considerate.

Just plain Rustoleum.
