Dynamat removal

[cheezer]

I have a project that I want to Dynamat. If I do it now, will it be possible to remove it when it comes time to "frame off", or is it considered almost permanent ? Does anyone have experience in it's removal ? I can guess it is messy ?

Obviously, the area could be prepped meticulously and the media blaster would not have to go over it when the time comes, but that solution sounds like a compromise at best.

Any input would be appreciated. Thank you

I guess you can tell by the lack of responces that no one even wants to think about removing Dynamat. That would be a huge PITA. You would have sticky residue everywhere. My garage floor hasnt even recovered from installing Dynamat yet. Little tary spots that my shoes stick to.

Ditto... my wife is still mad at me for tracking it into the house...

I guess it would be similar to the undercoating/sound deadener/sealant that was installed at the factory and I have already removed.

I figured it was such a relatively new product that people had not gotten to a situation where they actually removed it. I guess the same would apply to bedliner applied to the underneath of a car

I've not removed undercoating/sound deadener/sealant installed at the factory but I have removed sections of a Dynamat-like sound deadener when I installed my SFC's. Removing the sound deadener was the worst, messiest and most frustrating part of the job. I can't imagine removing a car interior's worth. I'd not use the insulation until after you've done your frame off, or be prepared to acid dip the car.

yeah if you have any chance of having to remove, then wait!! I have a customers truck that is covered from floor to roof, and talk about a PITA. I have spent over 8 hours this week jsut getting it off the tranny tunnel!! The foil back comes off easy but leaves a nice 1/8th think sticky, nasty, residue that will not come off.

I por15'd my entire interior before I laid down my dynamat to ensure I didnt have any rust issues under the Dynamat in the future. I would recomend doing the same. Great product.
