hey guys i've been trying to get the tar up off the floor to patch it and i have had trouble getting the tar up does anyone know a easy way to get the tar off the floor??

 

Dry ice and a chisel is the most effective

 

Where can i get dry ice?

 

I don't know about where you live but around here a fish plant. But most companies that ship food would have some. If not you can scrape the **** out of it. I started mine with a wide dull chisel. They're old cars so the tar is pretty dried out. It'll come up in reasonable chunks. It's a slow process

 

sorry it took so long for an update but here are new pics

before tar removal.
