i noticed most people used 45-50 mil, would 80 mil be even better?

Most are self adhesive, its like a sticky tar with a waxpaper backing you just peel off. I used a heatgun on anything that was hanging vertical or upside down becuase it makes it stick alot better.
If you do use a heatgun, make sure there's no airpockets (which there will be) under it or the heat will cuase the air to expand anditllswelllike a ballon. I just put a big slice through the bubbles with the cutting knife to the air out and then flatten them back down with the roller..

and definitely ROLL it on, the roller helps take out some of the air, and gets it stuck in all the little creases for better adhesion. heat gun + roller = full proof.

David, remember that brace on my roof you didnt recognize? Well, the deadener started to fall off like 3 days later since I couldnt get the roller in there very good. I broke out the heat gun and got that stuff so hot it felt like water under the aluminum backing. Rolled what I could and used a rag to press the rest by hand, easy since it was sooo gooey. Now its on there so good I doubt I could get it off if I wanted too...
And btw, be careful if you do the top of the gastank. I wouldnt have ever believed it, but I got the deadener to spark on the tank. I guess pulling the waxpaper off that tar can build a current...it was a pretty blue spark[8D]

Nic, well thats good to know that heat gun works so well! glad you got it on there for good. When this stuff is on, it sure is a b!tch to get off.
oh and be careful to NOT get the sound deadener stuck to itself, you will most likely not get it off... just don't rip the wax paper off so fast that it flings up and sticks to itself like it did like 3 times...
