Ok have seen dynamat, cascade, etc. Jus wanna know if there are materials i can use that would work the same way as these dampening kits do.
You can use:
1) Bitumen layers that are used on rooftops
2) Rockwool
3) Rubber sheets 5mil
I have used the above triple combination with excellent results. These products are also very cheap to obtain.

Don't you want to say damping... dampening means to get something wet (ie you could just throw water on it 🙂)

actually its the other way around 😀planet10 said:
You could also try using flashband, its aluminum on one side and some sort of tar substance on the other side.
Lowes and I believe HD sell something in the Roofing section called Peel and Seal. Its I believe still $15 for 15 sq ft., and while slightly thinner than Dynamat, etc, it's so cheap you can do multiple layers on the cheap and it works JUST as well.
Thanx for the help guys and spelling corrections 😀 > But my setback is that these items might not be available in hardware stores down here (Caribbean). I'll have to hunt a bit.....
The mixture of sand with epoxy or latex glue is very good. The latter is less expensive, of course.

Composites have always been very good at reducing vibrations. I've never tried latex glue - would it not take a very long time to dry when used in such quantities?

Radik, go to any hardware shop in the WI and they will have flashband. It comes is rolls and is used to repair leaks in galvanize roofing. That and lino should work.
30 lb roofing felt(2 layers) as per research- http://www.silcom.com/~aludwig/Loudspeaker_construction.html#Panel_vibration_damping_experiments
