I used Soprema 's Ice Guard and had no olfactory issues whatsoever.

Subject: "weather watch" sound deadening material

I am in the process of installing sound deadening material in my 82 AC
Westy.  I picked up some roofing material from Home Depot called "Weather
Watch" (http://www.gaf.com/General/GafMain.asp?Silo=RES1&WS=GAF) it is much
like the "ice guard" stuff we have discussed on the list.  One BIG
difference, it stinks to high heaven!  I picked the stuff up last weekend
and have had it in the back of my car since.  Every time I drive the car I
get high from nasty petroleum smells.  Glad I discovered this before I stuck
it all over my van.
Have any of you who have installed similar stuff had this particular
problem?  The smell is strong enough that I don't think it is just going to
go away on its own.

I am going to add a switch in the ground wire that serves the rear fans and
blue temp switch. This will stop any current from flowing to the fans at
all,unless I am using the frig.The magnetic sign is for when I am using the
frig in summer , during the day . Mostly I am concerned with heat at night.
