Dynamat install question...
Hello Everyone,
I am getting ready to put in some dynamat in my doors. When putting down a new strip, do I over lap the old one? If so, by how much? I was thinking 1/4 in.???
Please advise...
Thanks in advance!

IMO, overlapping doesn't really matter much. The purpose of dynamat is to increase the mass of a panel so it's less prone to vibration and the butyl compound is a vibration absorbsion material. As long as you get most of the surface, it should be fine.
However, if you want it to look right, my suggestion would be to overlap, then cut away the excess with a razor to make the edges meet perfectly.
