Greater than one weekbut i have not yet done a road test.. i WILL report how well it works once i road test it.. adhesion..? YES.. i would say excellent from my short experience.. i applied it to the back side of auto grade cut pile carpet that matches the interior carpet after cutting it to fit the trunk as seen in the pix.. also applying the sound deadening material to the inside of various places in the car as seen in the pix.. apparently GM did not feel they should use adequate sound deadening material inside this 1970 cadillac eldorado which was one of the top cadillac models of the time.. the car is a california car from my home area in san francisco and the SF peninsula where i grew up and spent much of my first 50 years.. the car was represented to be a superior example but some time in its 50 years it was left with water in the trunk.. the selling dealer did not think that an important fact so while there is no rust under the car there sure is a lot of surface rust inside, thus i am now cleaning that up and applying this lead foam material to give this car what it deserves as a 50 year old, 98k mile all original cadillac.. lots of rustoleum paint and other stuff from amazon is giving me something to do while the china covid19 virus is keeping people at home..

> 3 dayIts a good product. Am alternative to the dynamat. I only want to write this review because if the way most people use it is wrong. Its not supposed to cover the entirety of the interior panels. You apply this where there are large flat panels or where a piece of metal makes vibrations or resonates. There are more lightweight materials you can use for full coverage but if you add this everywhere its really just dead weight.

Greater than one weekIt does work good but doesn’t cancel as much noise as I expected. In my Polaris Northstar it helped a good bit on noise canceling but still a bit louder than I wanted. Where the Kilmat knocks a home run is vibration from the subwoofer and sound system.

> 3 dayVery easy to work with and great adhesion. You will need the Norsmic roller to make this job a success. No smell at all. Installed in the rear trunk of a 2015 Kia Forte which sits low to the ground and absorbs a lot of road noise. This quieted things down I would say 90%. Makes for a quiet ride and helped with sound quality as having a subwoofer in the trunk it kept any rattling from happening. Perfect purchase, I am very happy

> 3 dayBeing the first time I have used this I didnt know what to expect. Was it going to be hard to install? Would I hear a sound improvement? I was watching videos of people installing it and they said to let it heat up in the sun. There is a point when it gets a bit to hot and it flops around and is super sticky. I was putting this in the door panels of a 2019 Honda Civic 2dr. Not a lot of room to work with and it wants to stick to every little thing it touches. Not a bad thing but just takes more care to get it in there. I did the bottom 2/3 of the doors. Now when you tap on the doors its just a thud. Overall sound from the stereo was improved. The low notes are now MUCH cleaner! The bass guitar sounds like a bass guitar and not just some humming low note. Same goes for the bass drum. Much more defined and musical. I cant say anything about noise reduction from outside the car yet because I just havent driven the car enough. So for under $50 its worth it in my opinion.

> 3 dayThe sheets make easy work of applying the material in tight spaces and even cutting pieces to fit odd shapes. I used about 4-5 sheets per door for my Ram 3500 Mega cab. Upon opening the door cavity, there was two tiny sheets of OEM soundproofing on the rear doors and NONE on the front doors. I applied the sheets in as large a piece as possible. I used a heat gun to warm the door and the material. Adhesion is excellent and I used a mini roller to push the material flat onto the door panel. I also used a torpedo level that had a rounded plastic tip to push the material flat in hard to get to places. Id say I covered 99 percent of the door with 4-5 sheets. I also put some of it on each interior door panel around the speaker grill and near the molded armrests. the door panels went from a gong like sounds to a confident dead knock. the door also closes with a definitive thud sound. over all the product is excellent and affordable. I wouldnt hesitate to get another package to place more around the car as I build the system.

> 3 dayThis product is easy to use. Extremely sticky, great adhesion. The bumpy pattern realy helps to let you know where youve rolled it out.

> 3 dayI drive a Ford Excursion and the first project was the four doors, second was the barn doors, third was above the headliner, and finally the rear quarter panels and under the cargo area carpet. Each step yielded an improvement and now that its all done I have to say the interior is so much quieter and the truck feels more solid. Of course it is! Another advantage is the truck doesnt get as hot since the Kilmat is a good insulator even though its inside and the sun still beats on the painted steel body. The a/c cools the inside much faster and more effectively. The next thing is to coat the roof with Line-X and there is sure to be a huge temperature improvement. Great product at the right price. If you want to spend the extra for the D brand, think twice before you buy. Calculate the material weight per sq ft and compare!
