Thanks Boston Dave - I got both. But many messages go automatically into Junk, including my own :) Jeff Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 4, 2022, at 8:40 AM, ddbjorkman@verizon.net wrote: > > > Hi Jeff. No. The pictures can be deceiving. Peel and stick is a strip with aluminum backing on one side and waxed paper on the sticky side which is pulled off, discarded and the sticky side is placed on a clean surface and pressed down. There is no can. It just looks like one in the pictures. I believe there is a video that is much clearer. > > Good luck.

Quite happy. I also used it on the front area under dashboard; unfortunately, this sheet metal area must get pretty warm from front radiator blow by, and as a result, evidence of "tar" dripping down on the sides into footwells. I clean it up, and it later re-appears. But, even then, I have had no "tar" odors. It's been in place over 12 years. And yes, very significant road noise reduction, so worth it to me. > >> > >> > >> On Friday, April 1, 2022, 06:41:43 PM PDT, Gil Ngai <eyebawlgil@gmail.com> wrote: > >> > >> What is roof patch? can you send a link? > >> Do you mean roofing tar? > >> > >> ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• > >> *GIL NGAI* • *I TELL GOOD STORIES* > >> *filmmaker • DP • **chief storyteller • instructor* > >> * www.dayonemedia.ca <http://www.dayone-media.com/> * > >> > >> > >> On Fri, Apr 1, 2022 at 6:49 PM Stephen Grisanti <bike2vcu@yahoo.com> wrote: > >> > >>> I did years ago on our ‘87 Westy, had to order directly from the source in > >>> Alberta.
