Default Dynamat, worth using?

Thinking of doing the floor and bulkhead in the Sierra to make it quieter, worth it?

you joke but the cheapest way of doing it is by using flashing tape, its 99% the same stuff but on a smaller roll.

use aluminium or lead flashing for roofing if your not fussed about weight etc,
same stuff really, bitumen based and alot cheaper,
brown bread is cheaper than dynamat tho.
easier to apply and make fit to floors when warm so either have a hair dryer/ heat gun handy or leave near a radiator to get supple!
