Anyone local to Bristol area got a seam roller for applying Silent Coat sheets

[Sky-drive]

Just bought Silent coat sheets and Hertz 4" door speakers - anyone local to Bristol/Gloucester/Bath area who could lend me a hand seam roller?

To be honest you don't need more than 50% panel coverage, you're just wasting money and adding weight if you cover it.

+1, and just use a 1" decorating roller.

cheers for the advice guys, planning on covering the inside of the door card and up to 50% of the inside door panel (depends on accessibility) - Ive bought 2mm Silent Coat sheets but thinking might be worth cancelling the sale and purchasing the 4mm sheets instead.

It depends what you're trying to achieve. Silent coat will very effectively stop panel resonance - and it's actually the aluminium side that does most of the work (converting the vibration into heat), the mass comes from the bitumen layer. So 4mm will add more mass for the same area, or the same mass for smaller obviously. I couldn't tell you what the best coverage is because I've not done it.

If you're looking to reduce road and airflow noise you'll need some sound absorbing material on top, deadening reduces it but is not the most effective for road noise, i.e. people cover panels in it simply adding mass and it would be more effective to simply add foam, less weight and probably cheaper.
