<p style="margin: 0 0 1em 0; color: black;">My favorite way to build quiet
decks is to deck the frame with
3/4" ply or OSB, then glue down a sheet of 1/2" Homasote, then wrap the
whole thing down to the frame with heavy muslin. For glue, I use a mix of
wheat paste and water with Elmer's white glue in roughly equal proportions.
The water has to start hot to mix the wheat paste powder, then add the
Elmers. YMMV. There are other methods, too, including using carpet face
down on the plywood and wrapping with canvas.<br>

<p>Hi All,<br /></p>
<p>I've been tasked with designing a unit set for a play workshop
series we do at my College. Part of the set requires some 12"
tall risers. It has been made clear to me that the risers need to be
as silent as possible. So, I look to the collective wisdom here for
your tried-and-true methods...<br /></p>
<p>What I'm currently thinking is lidding these risers with the
standards maso-tentest-plywood lid, and making the frame a solid box
stuffed with batt insulation like Roxul or pink fiberglass.
Thoughts?<br /></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Any tips or advice you can share would be appreciated.<br /></p>
<p>Thanks,<br /></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Chad<br /></p>
