I just wanna share my experience here.. It regarding sound proof using HARDWARE shop bitumen roll.. Not those bitumen which accessories use to sound proof.. Few months ago, I purchase alot of bitumen roll from hardware shop to do sound proof for my car.. Yes. I admit that I'm silly to done that cause I don't know the disadvantages.. After stick for 4 doors and my rear bonnet, it really sound proof! The noise from outside being minimize. Very happy.. And before I stick those bitumen on the door, I had clean the door surface very clean and no any oil.. After few months, da*n thing happen. I realize that alot black thing dripping out from the door and causes my side skirt look so dirty. I gonna to clean it and it so difficult to clean. So I remove the door panel and see.. All the bitumen drop off as the black thing get melt and the bitumen drop because the black thing which we stick already melt. Really so regret to done it. It so difficult to remove back all the bitumen.. I will post the picture tomorrow if you guy need to see.

This is the picture I done on my car last time. I will post the melt de by tomorrow... Newly stick, is look nice.. Once get melt, get mad.

it so difficult to clean.. And not 100% can clean those melt thing.. Sent to shop do is always better.. Like me, thinking can save money but at last use more money and effort. >_<

what is bitumen.

the one ppl apply to stop roof from leaking that one...got aluminium foil & black stuff...

yes.. I try dig see got the picture of bitumen or not.

yes, please do attach some pictures, so that other people will avoid.

I already uploaded some picture on first post.

haha.. i had this problem last mth.. damn it.. it messes up my boot area with lots of sticky stuff..

then how you settle ur boot area? Now I'm headache how to solve this problem.

I didnt know TS so silly go stick that for sound proffing purpose LMAO. This Roofing Sealent is meant for roof leakage repair and is really hard to remove it. It will melt under hot sun so that it will hold strong enough to the roof.

TS, just remove it using petrol or Thinner. And you will need alots of cloth. Before use thinner, u will need to scrap it.

we all learn from mistakes bro..at least hes sharing his experience so other forumers will be aware,not just senyap2 cover his mistakes..
thanx for the info bro!

I think not only me alone so silly. I believe still got alot out there which using this way.

Use petrol also thinner also no use.. Need to use heat gun to melt it then only can clean.. need use alot of cloth.

This exactly what I'm using. I bought it for Rm15 per roll...

that is soooooo cheap

it cheap, but it troublesome in the future.

Thats why people say not to use bitumen roll, but use proper sound proofing mats.
