[iwantspeed]

hello guys,
I took the sound deadening out and was in the process of removing the residue, i gave wd-40 a try and it worked great.
just wanted to share the tip with others.
Just spray it on let it sit. Wipe off 5 min later.

Damn,that worked great..I've used the 3M adhesive remover before,but thanks,I will try that

Awesome man, I'm in the same stage as you right now, been using lacquer thinner and just doing small sections at a time. Wd40 should be much more tolerable, gonna try it right now!

And this is after using which method to remove the deadening itself?

yes sir

And this is after using which method to remove the deadening itself?

tools

• compressed air in a can used upside down,
• rubber mallet,
• heat gun,
• plastic putty,
• metal putty knife

procedure

• spray the sound deadening with the can upside on the edges.
• hit it with a rubber mallet

procedure 2

• use heat gun on the sound deadening
• then pry it up with a putty knife

Psssh Alex just man up and delete some brain cells, use gas.
But in all seriousness I wish I would have known this when I did mine. The heat gun worked better than the compressed air upside down for me.

A torch and scraper do wonders for this. I have used them on the last 2 race cars I have helped build.

Nice ill keep this in mind when doing it, how much you think it all weighs from the seat bench?

[iwantspeed]

Seat bench was maybe 2 lbs

• Driver side floor board
• Driver side rear floor board
• Passenger side floor board
• Passenger rear floor board
• Under rear seat

Total weight 10 lbs
I also removed the sound deadening under the rear shelf but didn't weigh it.

Ah ok thanks

[bernzpeed]

Worked perfectly. Got mine out and it's all nice and white.

Yup, I find in the winter is the easiest to remove it. Done two cars in the winter and one in the summer. Winter was just a rubber hammer and a bag. Summer was hellish hot and a metal chisel.
