Auralex StopGap™ – Professional Acoustical Sealant for Sound Isolation
Ensure your soundproofing efforts aren't compromised by invisible air leaks with Auralex StopGap™ Acoustical Sealant. This highly elastic, water-based sealant is specifically designed to reduce sound transmission through gaps in walls, ceilings, and floors. StopGap™ comes in a professional-grade 28 fl. oz. tube, providing ample coverage for sealing joints, electrical outlets, and perimeters.
By creating an airtight seal that remains permanently flexible, StopGap™ prevents sound from "leaking" through small openings, effectively maintaining the Sound Transmission Class (STC) of your isolation project. It is an essential component for any recording studio, home theater, or commercial space requiring superior noise control.
