Years ago when applying Dynamat to my Camaro I was told it is risky to do the doors. That the product would not hold and would "slide" downward. Is this true? I am doing a Chevelle soon and would like to know. Also, I noticed Malitude has Dynamat inside the doors.
When going vertical, I use a heat gun to soften the mat to where it becomes extremely sticky then use a roller to apply it to the panel. Keep the heat on it and keep rolling it until it creeps from the edges of the mat. Essentially what's happening is you're just getting the buetel to grab all of the little crevices and pores of the panel. You can super crazy and frame it with aluminum HVAC tape if you're super paranoid about it. I've never had one come off.
