Thank you for reminding people that adding sound deadening everywhere has diminishing returns. I've seen so many builds where people spend so much time applying far more than necessary. The FIT RV came out with a couple of videos in mid 2022 on this topic that I can highly recommend for those that want to understand more of the science and see some semi-quantitative results.
@GregVirgoe
@GregVirgoe Жыл бұрын
I’m trying to explain that this heavy stuff is of no benefit on the deeply ridged panels as that already does not vibrate or drum like the Fiat panels do. So many are misled with wrong info. Hopefully I can help to change that. 😊

just saw a vid of a guy dropping a tool on the floor and showing the difference between insulating and not. Um i guess he drops tools alot? So he wouldn't be allowed to work on anything above the first floor as that is pretty much an instant termination. I keep seeing people spending 3 hours cutting small slices and doing the entire lower ridges of the floor. I might do a couple of strips behind the drivers seat/middle hallway to do a comparison. I deliberately did not buy a ton of the stuff, i will have a low roof van. I have where the windows are planned so i hope 2 boxes are enough. I will entirely cover the wheel wells, someone did a test and the thicker stuff i have didn't work as well as the thinner silver stuff. Also 2 of the manufacturer's produce in the Russian Federation, I wonder how that is going or if they have relocated. The one US company i found is extremely expensive (they sell large sheets).

This is a more common problem then people realize. Most people have no idea that the skin and structure are actually bonded together with body adhesive. Our brand new Sprinter had the same problems although not as bad. Sikaflex actually makes a specific body adhesive and I used about 3 tubes of it on every contact point between skin and structure. That really helped eliminate the tin can sound going down the road. Then the sound deadening dynamats installed and the van was literally 75% quieter then before. I recommend that anyone building a conversion van go through this exercise before insulating and interior wall panels are installed

Haha. Anyway thanks for another good video.

Yes theres only one or two places where you benefit from these heavy sheet applied as i've shown. The problem when other youtube videos show these pads being used in the wrong locations and it's the wrong application for the material, then everyone else copies it because they dont know any better and are looking to see what others have done. So hopefully if i can give some better advice and more importantly the reasons why, that will help a few out there. Will give Lou your regards :D Thanks

Good to see you back Greg - the bonded joints you replaced highlighted a real problem with the way these vehicles are made. Bonded joints represent a large proportion of the strength and integrity of the vehicle's structure - there is obviously a deterioration in the bonded joints over time, as you demonstrated with the roof panels. On older vehicles it may be prudent to re-inforce bonded areas with a fillet of Sikaflex even if they appear sound - where the bond has deteriorated it makes sense to remake the joint as you did with the roof. It would not be too difficult to do this, as once insulation and trim has been fitted the parts of the vehicle with failing bonds can move around and not be noticed.

Just as an additional thing you can use 3M double sided tape and the Sikaflex together if you’re impatient for waiting for Sikaflex to dry. good for situations where it’s a panel and you just want to stick and get on with it to finish the build. I’ve done it a lot with roof paneling etc where screwing wasn’t an option.

I'm watching too many van build videos, but --- I'm baffled how most of them are designed like static objects. Very few channels care about weight (or is the 3.5tonne limit a purely European limit?) so chuck in the 2x4s and 18mm ply for everything; either zero sound-deadening or 80+% coverage of floor and walls (skipping ceilings); and everything fixed as stiff as possible (as if a metal van doesn't expand in heat and twist on roads). Many are either super advocates of sound deadening panels but with no rule-of-thumb of where to focus or what amount of coverage, or just say "it's too heavy"; and many say the opposite of their initial advocacy in their "1y later, what would I have done differently?"-video (and again, they suggest the opposite without showing where the balance lies of needed work/cost/effect/compromises like lost space). I think you're the first I see that takes the stripped van for a short drive and listen!! Insane.

It’s about using the right product. The heavy pads are only designed to stop vibration. If you want to stop road noise or rain on your roof etc then you need a sound absorbing insulation like dense foam sheets to absorb the sound waves come through the structure from outside.

If you cover all your insulation with a complete vapour barrier including sealing the edges down to the floor then no moisture can get in there to condense so there is no need to worry about the gaps. Have you seen this video I made to prove this? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdOdpLB4nLjOiJs.htmlsi=jIqVv1yQ8OUKANia

Haha, top job again Greg as always.. Been watching a few of your budget build and low and behold I just did the same to my ribs and panel stays on the Sprinter as I have had chance to crack on and get something done. I used the 3M 560 PU which is pretty much the same as the Sika, albeit it does shrink a tad compared the Sika. Will continue catching this journey. Take care!
