Has anyone used this as automotive insulation?

I did not, I do not think it would work in a automotive application because plastic is sandwiched between the two foil sheets.

Been using it for a few years wo any problems...not sure how to answer specifically about the insulation.

Hi,yes, it is a very sticky tape, I use it extensively on aftermarket turbo vehicles. It is generally used as a edging tape to the heat shield mat, they have the mat in the very same material. If you use the mat to cover the box, then use this tape to make a edging with it, it will be good. But you can also use the tape by itself, but will be expensive and not as insulate as mush as the mat. We are a modification shop, if you need more help and pictures, let me know. Aloha.

I would say no. The tape is intended to be used as a heat insulation on exhaust and turbo components. Does pretty well at that use.

I used it on my car's door seals and it did not last long, but this may be because those seals were already dry and needed second pass. In my opinion this should work fine for you, but you still need to apply it from time to time. If you want longer effect you may want to look for something denser.

Thanks for the reply. Worked GREAT in the application...now we will see how it stands-up to the summer interior heat of the car.

YES, I used the product in two different vehicles and saw no drop in temperature, hope you have a better luck.

I have not, But I believe it is strong enough to do the job even if it takes two coats. If I had a tan top I would sure give it a try.

I actually used it to cover some damage on my door panels and dash. Worked great. I have used other colors, same company to add accents to small covers on the bumper, behind the chrome grille and even inside the Lexus L, and many inside components including the console. I work in nascar and it's not as hard and rigid as our wraps. More flexible when heated with just a hair dryer. Don't use torch or heat gun. I loved it. Really easy to work with at a low heat. Wish they would let me upload a pic.

This is a very poor insulator, I believe the R-value on this stuff is a 2. I would look into other options for insulation.

I bought it to use as an undercoating on my 1950 Studebaker. I had a small amount left over so I decided to use it on the roof/covering on my wellhouse. The roof is plywood and it has been holding up super. It has been on for about a year now.

No direct experience, but works well for damping sound and heat transfer, my use has been in floors in antique cars, good product.

I have used the product several times in cars. I see no reason it would not work for your purpose

Its worth a try. I used it on my carb screw stem on my motorcycle....it gets pretty hot and it hasn't unattached. Just work the putty well and clean the surface well also. I sanded the base first to get a clean raw surface.

I think so Betty. It is recommended by 3M for vinyl protection on automobiles. A nice product and easy to apply. ---Ted---

I have not used it for that purpose. There are many excellent automotive products made just for what you need. I would look in the automotive detailing dept of your favorite auto store.
