SQ Sound Deadening Instructions

Surface Preparation:  The surface you are treating must be clean. Remove any dust or rust. Use a degreasing agent or appropriate organic solvent (such as Dodo Prep Spray) to degrease greasy surfaces.

Cutting: Use a Stanley knife or similar to cut the product to the desired shape. Ensure you are using a fresh sharp blade to get a clean neat cut on the product.

Application: Pull back the entire adhesive backing and press the mat onto the metal panel. The use of a roller tool may help remove pockets of air and provide a more even application. It is important to ensure the sheet is firmly attached to the panel and that you have pressed into all of the contours and shapes.

Heat: If the ambient installation temperature is below 10°C (or the vehicle panels are very cold) then it is advised to warm the adhesive side of the product with a light heat gun. This will activate the adhesive and soften the butyl rubber ready for application.

If the ambient installation temperature is over 10°C, heating is generally unneccessary. However when applying to complex or inverted surfaces, warming the material can make application easier.
