I used this from HD. I bonded this to the original layer with Weldwood contact ahesive. It was cheap and reduced the heat and sound greatly. You can spend a lot of money for Dynamat, Acousticore, and other products but the jute felt and Al barrier works good for what it costs. For sound deadening the best product is .050 lead sht that it bonded to the inside of the dog house(you mentioned sound proofing in your original post and not heat reduction).

+1 !! Dynamat is great stuff!

Sheet of Galvanised Steel between the Fibreglas Dog House Cover and the hole above the Engine,along with some Insulation will work wonders!

This page has some information on it:

Boom Mat from DEI is one of the better ones I've seen.

my dog house had a crack in it I built a wooden cover for it stained the wood looks very nice cut down on heat and noise

THIS is what I used on ours and it worked quite well.

Thanks for everyone's input!

DYNAMAT-DYNAMAT-DYNAMAT----ITS THE BEST THING AROUND I DID ALL THE UNDERSIDE OF MY DOGHOUSE AND FLOORBOARDS,IT CUT THE NOISE TO ALL MOST ZERRO AND KEPT THE HEAT AT A WARM TOUCH.ITS THE BEST. WHEN YOU INSTALL IT USE A TENNIS BALL TO WORK IT IN THE CORNERS AND CURVES,CAUSE YOU CANT USE A ROLLER ALL OVER.

I would use the dynamat, it has been around in the audio industry for years. It is a quality product and easy to use. I have used this in several cars to make parts not rattle and soundproof the car.
