You are absolutly correct. I've seen numerous people on Honda-tech try this out in 2-step+ methods and down the line they always end up with a tear similar to where they layered the Urethane. IF you do these motor mounts people, definitly do it all at once so it cures as ONE solid mount rather than 2 or 3 layers dried on top of each other.

edit: I just did a front mount on a 90' Eagle TSi and the results were EXTREMELY comparable to my Blox Front Engine Roll Stop. Very good bang for your buck if you don't mind the Home Depot style.

for anyone who cares about stiffening the front motor mount, heres my review.

i bought window weld, uninstalled the brace and motor mount. thorough cleaning was done by leaving it in a bath of rubbing alchohol and roughing up the rubber with sandpaper. my original plan was drilling holes into the rubber but i got lazy. applied windowweld to one side to make it as even as flush as possible with the mount itself. windowweld dries even to turn over reasonably quickly (maybe 15 - 20 minutes) so then do same to other side. this point, the window weld is soft as silicone. threw it my small toaster for 2 hours in 350F, then sat in my room for about 10 - 12 hours in room temperate. now i notice its hard as a very dry rubber eraser. installation was straight forward(dont need to jack up the engine).


driving feel - my car idles at 1k rpm so i didnt feel any extra vibration. when i go off and on the throttle, much less engine movement. im sure there is still slight movement but overall im very happy with the cost and streetability of this mod.
