Definitly, that stuff sticks hardcore haha. What I did was cut off certain lengths, like 6 feet. Then only peel back acouple inches on the endand stick that end down and smooth it flat. Then I gently continued pulling the paper with one hand, while flattening with the other. On flat surfaces you can go real fast and get NO airbubbles. I did the majority of my ceiling in 15 minutes.

haha Yeah I figured that trick out too (eventually ), i would just leave it on the roll and let it unravel as i unpealed it 6 inches at a time or so, then cut it off. For the roof I just held it up and cut of the proper amount and then cut like 3 other strips the same size haha

the only times I've gotten them stuck together were like when the strip was like a foot and half long or so haha

I just saw Muscle Cars last week on Spike. I am not sure if it was an old one, but anyways, they were using Hushmat. I love that show, so I will check them out when ready to tackle that project. I did get a quote from a good stereo store in San Antonio to do my entire car in Dynamat Extreme. They quoted me $800 and two days to do the project.

A year or so ago I bought something that looked liked it was made of asphalt. As soon as I saw it I had doubts and then on the ride home I realized it even smelled like asphalt. Took it right back to the parts store - really did not want my mustang to have that odor.
