Good deal.Yep, I got it. Need to take it to work and cut it this week, along with a few other brands.

Full results aren't finished yet. However, many of the products on Don's old test list don't exist anymore or have been changed. If you read over the last 3 pages you'll get the gist of where the testing process and results currently are.Any idea where the results can be found?
Would be great if a page number or link was added to the first post.

I was sure this would be true. In 9 years a lot of CLD materials would have been reformulated or gone from the market. Even though the results from 2005 are highly suspect today because of obsolete data on materials that no longer exist in their 2005 form it is nice to have a historical perspective to look back on.Full results aren't finished yet.

This has been a lot of work on TSTF's part; especially for someone raising a family and he's been a real trooper to continue when I know that life has done everything to get in the way of his progress.I was sure this would be true.

This however brings up the following question. Once all of your testing is finally finished will you continue testing into the future as new products arrive and old products change their formulations? Or once this testing is done will it simply sit and gather dust in another 9 years like that 2005 test result has done?
I would not blame anyone for not wanting to do continuous testing while not getting paid for it. I know it takes a good amount of time and some expense to perform all of these tests.
Absolutely ENVIOUS!! Can I get an invite next time? Lol...I'm have some thoughts on future testing. Requires a lot of planning and design work, but I really think it would be beneficial. Let me get them together and I'll post them up, if not today than tomorrow. Likely I won't be at work tomorrow anyways due to the cold/eye/ear infection from hell. Woke up yesterday without vision in my left eye. Fun. Today I can see, but my eyes look like I smoked out with cheech and chong and Dr dre's whole label last night in my sleep.
Don's (Welcome to Sound Deadener Showdown | Sound Deadener Showdown) is always a good option for foams and such, and MLV if you have no good local source (weight always being an issue.) That said, I still like my Ensolite, especially when you don't want a thick layer. I ordered a big stock of foams from Don a long while back though, and still have quite a few pieces left which I use here and there.Now I know MLV testing is still a ways off, but I'm really tempted to give that db-3 stuff from Home Depot a shot.
At this point, I'm fairly certain I'll go with Knukonceptz or SDS for the CLD tiles. MLV and the decoupler are compete unknowns, never used either, so no idea what works, what doesn't, what works well, what works, but isn't cost effective, etc etc.
Issue with that is it isn't very flexible and can Crack if overbent. I was going to give it a shot but just put it in storage as even though it has proven to do a decent job it's just to unforgiving and a pain to work with in the car.Now I know MLV testing is still a ways off, but I'm really tempted to give that db-3 stuff from Home Depot a shot.
