No more taking advice from the Sunday Morning car show hosts.

I forget which show it was, maybe Truck U or Garage Squad, but they were finishing up an interior and the last thing they did was cover the interior with a self-adhesive duct liner product. Said it was available everywhere, came in 12" x 15' rolls, and was about 1/8" thick. The deal was it cost a ton less than the stuff we usually use. Naturally, I did a search and came up with one manufacturer who makes a product that fit the description. It's made by Frost King and is a medium density foam and an aluminum skin. Sticks fairly well and goes on easily enough, but the show hosts should have actually tried to glue something to it before they recommended it. I can't find anything, so far, that will stick the carpet to this stuff. Tape won't stick to it. I've tried aluminum duct tape, Gorilla tape, Weldwood contact cement, 3M 90, 3M 77, and Loctite spray contact. The only way I got good results was by using a Scotchbrite pad prior to applying the Loctite. Way too much work.

I've used the same stuff on 2 builds, about to be three. No issues using just regular 2 sided carpet tape and having the tape stick to the aluminum skin. No clue what brand the tape was though, so I'm not sure I can be much help.

Any chance that you have a silicon based product? I used EZ-Cool, which is bubble cell with foil and 3m spray 77 worked fine. I tried to pull a piece up and ripped the carpet fibers out of the weave.

There is a silicone one out there and you have to use silicone caulk.
