Dynamat Sound Deadening Removal 61 Impala Ep 1

[@DAVEEVER]

I used a company called Dry Ice Makers to get my Dry Ice. Called, ordered and collected the same day. They were very helpful.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Awesome!

[@rickyfoster9438]

I used Dynamat on my 1970 Corvette on the floor and trans tunnel. I then purchased Eastwood to finish the doors and behind the seats! Winter project complete. I live in Texas and summer was was about 2 months off. Then the first day of 100 degrees I noticed some tar was on my door seal and the tar started running every where! Now I had a summer project and I called Eastwood to compline about there product! Eastwood did hemp me by sending products to cleanup the mess! Thanks for your utube it was great info!!

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Awww man bummer!! Thx for watching!

[@JasonWW2000]

That's odd because Dynamat is one of the better quality brands. I wouldn't expect any of its adhesive to drip or melt out. Cheaper brands can definitely do that. If you want the highest quality I would suggest Resonex. It's a special butyl rubber without any tar.

They use this trick on commercial vinyl floor tiles but with water and full blocks. I have a brother in law that works construction. Well, work is a strong word! He shows up where construction works is going on and gets a check. This is a guy that I caught marking a layout for roof rafters on a 23” on center. Before I showed him the other numbers in RED. Thanks for the info, cool idea!

[@DeathTollRacing]

That’s great! Liquid nitrogen works too. Probably a bit overkill, but if you have it available. Most machine shops keep it around for shrinking parts for assembly.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

I’ll have to try that one I’ve heard of that just wasn’t sure how much it would cost to do a bunch of it. Thx for sharing!

[@DeathTollRacing]

@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS you definitely need to be careful, it’s -320 degrees Fahrenheit or something, but it’s pretty much instant popping of the dynomat. I use a watering can from gardening with hose on the end.

Doing collision repair led me to A way of cleaning floor pans When I was replacing trunk floor pans I’d use a air saw to cut the panels I noticed the vibration would cause the sound deadner panels to pop loose so I took a saws all blade cut the tip straight like a chisel And sharpen it as well A 4 inch blade works best In the air saw it vibrates and scrapes at the same time Then the sharp teeth of the blade grind as well I can clean the bottom of a c10 cab in 15 min then sand blast !!! Used with dry ice it would be amazing give it a try I use a Matco air saw my sun calls it the butter cutter cause it cuts metal like butter

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Thanks for sharing!

[@triggerhappy8872]

I’d be using a small battery powered hammer drill like a Hilti with a spade bit & just lift it up & as well as using your hands.. But using a different brand of deadener made by “Car Builders” & it’s Butyl & not a bitumen substance. It’s easier to rip up as it’s rubber & doesn’t harden it’s always malleable . I reckon it’s Great stuff 👍

[@LakesideAutobody]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing SC.

[@tracycolorado]

Thanks Sly

[@bryanpadilla2879]

What's the reason for removal just curious that stuff is pricy and I think id want to keep it. Not scrap it if there's no rust holes underneath

[@bryanpadilla2879]

I can't see who liked my comment ... Seriously why did you like it it's ...an honest question ⁉️

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

The reason is there is tons of rust. Underneath the trunk floor was really clean but inside the car under seat areas it was so bad it took part of the floor with it. You can either check out our Instagram page and see how bad it was or when we do episode 2 it will really show all the issues and the “why” we did what we did. Once we fix it all we will use lizard skin sprayable sound deadener instead 👍🏻

[@bryanpadilla2879]

@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS I'll for sure check em out...

[@Turb0Yoda]

Quick correction. Dynamat is butyl rubber based. Cheap shit like kilmat is asphalt/tar based. That’s why the cheap shit melts and doesn’t work well.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

We’ll both suck at removing regardless of what it is lol

[@Kustompaint2026]

Very cool!! Someone out”there” had to have done this before or had some “idea” that this method would work for removing dynamat!! ( I wonder if you could do Kustom paint with dry ice???) hmmmm!!!

[@dakotasclassiccars7246]

Great video!

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Thank you!

[@craig7343]

I've never touched that dynomat stuff for this very reason. I knew it would be a absolute prick to get off. What would happen if you had sent it to be dipped as is? Keep em coming. 👍👍

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

They wouldn’t touch it because of the aluminum it contaminated the acid process

[@bryanpadilla2879]

Nice heads up didn't know that

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

I found if I just do it in the evening when it's cooler the whole thing just peels off in one go.

[@kennethclauson2317]

One tip do not use your hands as a hammer. Reason being that's a great way to get carpal tunnel. Trust me I've had both hands operated on due to using my hands as a hammer. Great content love the channel keep up the great work.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Thank you for the tip. It’s easy to forget sometimes that actions now will make us pay later.

[@kennethclauson2317]

@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS You are absolutely correct. And believe me I'm paying for it now. Taking the proper safety steps now will save your body down the road. Love the content and the channel. Keep up the great work.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Will do, thank you for watching.

[@kennethclauson2317]

@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS You bet In my opinion this channel is the best as far as doing body work the right way along with the correct way to start from the ground up. I'm a firm believer in metal prep/condition the metal first before epoxy then do your body filler over the epoxy then reapply the epoxy then prime block any cut through reapply epoxy then reprime while heavy guide coat in between to make your panels laser straight. Then seal, paint, wet sand completely flat no orange peel going in 1000 grit guide coat in between steps to get all the orange peel out then buff.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

@@kennethclauson2317 agreed totally. We just found that we even started going to 600 after clear will completely remove any ripples 1k grit looks good but it’s not 100% perfect. By putting on more clear having the forethought to start with 600 definitely helps

[@deanvigna7519]

Great vid. I totally agree with you, however dynamat hasn’t been around long enough to need to remove it. If the vehicle was built right in the the first place you shouldn’t need to remove it for quit some time. Too many shops are not doing quality work. We blast, epoxy, seam seal with 2 part and bedliner, then epoxy prime again or single stage. Then dynamat with overlap with 1/8” and roll it down then seal the seams so no reason it should be removed for 30-50 years really.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Like you said, most shops aren’t doing quality work. Every car we touch gets striped down to metal for that reason.

[@deanvigna7519]

@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS true story. I’ve been pretty lucky most of the vehicles I’ve been doing are in pretty decent original shape with maybe a few exterior paint jobs in they’re lifetime but not been bastardized by some armature.

[@andrewiannello6548]

Remind me never to use that stuff! That's dedication 🤪

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

🤣🤣🤣

[@JasonWW2000]

The higher quality brands are very good.

[@jimwiskus8862]

I wondered if you could get underneath and try some controlled love taps with a rubber mallet? Just curious, obviously you don’t need any dents in the pan.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

We tried it didn’t work so well

[@jimwiskus8862]

Good to know friend. 😊

Another great video !

Looks like a total PITA! Soldier on.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

That it was 🤣

[@davidsauter13]

Would a air chisel be to aggressive on the panels?

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

As a matter of fact near the end we took one of those with a 1.5” wide spade bit on a low angle turned the air pressure down and it worked amazing.

[@turboflush]

I just installed mat to my truck.. hopefully i dont ever need to remove it. OMG!

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Hopefully not 🤣🤣🤣

[@dakotasclassiccars7246]

After watching this video and your other one I certainly won’t be using any mat style sound dampener I will use that lizard skin spray.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Good stuff👍

[@mercedescorner9711]

I saw a dude use freeze-off in a spray can. I would imagine that it would make it possible to remove roof mounted dynomat.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Yea it works too 👍🏻

[@fueledgaragetv1212]

Dynamat (and other similar products) is butyl based, which is synthetic unlike tar which is not. That’s why if you cheap out and get the stuff from the hardware store instead of a product designed for automotive, your car will smell when it gets hot.

[@jdimeo1966]

I assume this would not work on bed liner so what is the best way to remove it? Heat or grind? Working on a Jeep Wrangler entire inside of tub has bed liner.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

I think it all depends on how good the prep was when they put it in Undercoating can be a challenge sometimes you can always try freezing it I’ve been pretty lucky we have not had to remove bedliner yet if you have an acid dip place I think it will remove it but then you have to pull the whole car apart unfortunately I don’t know if I’m much help on that

[@jdimeo1966]

@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS It is pretty close to being stripped. The dash is the only thing in it. I'll look into an acid dip business. Thanks for the feedback.

[@edkattera3674]

A co2 fire extinguisher will work also

Will Probly take a ton of them lol

No it wont..

[@oliverkhoo]

sidewall will be tough to chill it

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Use boards and pack it in between it doesn’t take long to freeze it.

[@zelowatch30]

Are you suggesting sound deadening is bad stuff?

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

I’m suggesting a product like lizard skin that won’t trap moisture under it like Dynamat

[@robertthrem3382]

What about liquid nitrogen I don’t think there’s anything cooler but it evaporates fast

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

That works too

[@robertthrem3382]

Try a claw hammer with not much hook. If need be hit the hammer with another

[@evanspark1510]

bro this is literatelly way longer and messier than just using a heat gun. I just finished watching another video that the guy took out so fast and the aluminum helped by staying on and have something to pull on.

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Thanks kevin 👌🏻

[@bruth6138]

Haha. Should be “how to get the foil off of laid dynamat”

[@evanspark1510]

This video was a fail you didnt even show the results! you might as well just can this video, and change to a heat gun, dude on a different video proved it was best in minutes was clean. your dry ice method might be better than using a flame from the cutting torch you showed but not heat gun! sorry bud!

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

Lmao ok keep doing it the hard way doesn’t bother me 🤣
