is there an easy way to do this? or do you have to just chip away at it using a chisel or something?

You could try a heat gun and scraper otherwise when its cold a bolster chisel by hand seems to break it up.

i was thinking about a heat gun but was wondering if it would give off some nasties - shame there isnt a chemical solution?

I found that a paint scraper worked a hell of a lot better than a chisel, don't know if heating it would make any difference

if you can get some slabs of dry ice they apparently make it very easy!

gravelexpress

yeah i read that about dry ice - do you reckon boots sell it

Pavlo

lol, no!

If you have a nice big bottle of Co2 you can make some, maybe just spraying liquid Co2 on the stuff will chill it enough?

This is a deep winter job:
Firstly, the deadening goes nice and brittle at about -5 degC
Secondly, you will be good and warm as the work to get it off is killer!

If you want to preserve the floor's paint job then it is a hair dryer/heat gun and a plastic scraper. Or leave it in the full summer sun to soak and attack it.

Removing it really increases noise!

petrol on a rag removes the stains left over after

jesus theirs tons of it!! I filled up a shopping bag doing 1/2 the front compartment. you can see why they strip this stuff out it weighs in at quite a bit.

i found it best to chase it out with a blunt screwdriver and hammer
