Homemade Lizard Skin

HLram · Feb 23, 2013

Has anyone done this for sound deadening or heat insulation? I have been looking into Lizard Skin for a while now, trying to talk myself into paying so much for it (it is pretty expensive). Well, earlier i googled it again and found some stuff on homemade lizard skin. ALOT cheaper. Just curious if anyone has done this on their trucks and if it worked good? I want to try it under cab around the in floor bins because they get really hot and I keep my headphones for the DVD player, etc in em.

Look at Dynomat sound deadening also. It just comes it big sheets, and it fairly cheap from what I remember.

yeah, I like dynamat, but I wanted something thin so if I decide to put it on the inside of the removable part of the floor bins ya know. thanks

You can always get that stuff they put under wood floors. That stuff is really thin. Then find a way to combine that with some of that aluminum tape somehow. Would be sound and heat resistant.

We're you looking to do something like this though? Would be way easier.

yeah i used some of that on floors in our kitchen. You're right it is thin. I didn't think about that. I may have some left over so it would be free! I will see if it's thin enough. Thanks for your replies guys.

I read about it on a hot rod type forum. Corvette forum. and ford forum. Its all over those. They said it was like 10-50 dollars a gallon depending on what u do it with. Alot cheaper than lizard skin. Just google it and u will find all kinds of stuff about it. No one has tried it on here I guess.

Guess not, I might have to do this sometime on my old 79'.
