Use sheets of rubber and stick them with fevicol synthetic rubber adhesive. Using aluminium will only increase the work without considerable benifits.
I used a 1.5 mm thick sheet of neoprene + natural rubber and its worked perfectly. Plus its incredibly good VFM- 40-50 sq ft for less than 1000. Just make sure the rubber you choose is heavy enough , around 4-5 sq feet per kg is ideal. Check my thread for pics.

now i am going off to look for the dense rubber used to repair the tubes. and i will certainly put up a diy thread on the same!
but i have a few doubts here, should i use the cross link foam layer like shrivz, i am asking again, because navin mentioned that they detoriate and become dust or turn to pieces etc so should i avoid using them?
if so i plan to use only the rubber and a metal layer say aluminium, thats all, would this do just fine? inputs please. gurus? |
Even i had the same experience. Couldnt find sef-adhesive sheets anywhere, bought some kaccha rubber too but it was too smelly to put into the car so didnt use it. But plain rubber sheets with fevicol SR 505 worked well.

I tried in vain to locate this kind of rubber sheeting with adhesive in Kolkata. An old gentleman in a tyre repair shop showed me something (he called it kachha rubber) but then demonstrated that it would only stick to rubber & not metal.  |
