I just got a shipment in of Auralex acoustic wall foam. I have never installed it before. Therefore I have naturally never worked with that TubeTak Pro adhesive that it comes with and thus have no idea of sticky that stuff really is.
Should I mount the foam directly to my appartment walls? Or would it be smarter to like go get some really thin ply-wood or panneling, mout it to that, and then screw THAT into the wall studs? I can quickly spackle over little screw holes in the walls when I move, but I don't want to have to repain the entire walls because the sheet rock ripped apart when I tried to take down the tiles. And I don't want to ruin the acoustic tiles when I pull them down either.
I don't particularly WANT to go the ply-wood route. So I don't want to do that unless I HAVE to.
What do you guys out there that have experience with this dense foam stuff think I should do?
