Well other than it wont sick, No
I suppose it depends, the extreme may work. Or if you use a heat gun and heat the dynamat and the surface first that would probly work.

a heatgun and roller would probably do the trick. do you have a garage to put it in? and possibly a heater? im not sure how well it will stick to a cold surface. possibly heat up the surface first.

We find it sticks much better. we us this method with all types of "dampening" materials.
Remember the most important thing is a clean surface.
IMO I would find a heated space to do it in, even if you have to pay, would be sad if you spent good money on Dynamat, and then have it all fall off because it wasn't applied properly, kind of a wast of time and effort not to mention money. 94
