like the title antone got a good way to take of the sound proofing tar? i got a hammer a scraper but i think i hear wd-40 sprayed on helps? i hate that tar

 

Get dry ice, break it up into small chuncks and spread it all over the tar. Let it sit until you can hit the tar with a hammer and break it off. Any bits left scrape off with the scraper.

 

I done one car with an air chisel, that was teh suck. I did the second with the dry ice, piece of pie.

 

So where do you get dry ice??

 

I'd ask local ice cream shops if they can sell you some, or where to get it.

 

We use to get it at the fishing bait place

 

Some of the Publix grocery stores carry it. Thats where I got mine.

 

now don't laugh.....


NOS will do the same thing.

 

but its more expensive

 

aha!!! and there is the rub

 

no pun intended for sure

 

I had a hard time finding dry ice when i was gonna do this. It was in the middle of winter, so I ended up useing an old chisel and hammer, pretty quick work, I guess teh cold weather made it brittle enough that it came off in big chunks. Weighed it, 25lbs, not bad I guess. But I removed mine in order to find and fix rust, not remove weight.

 

or you could warm it up... yeah it makes it a bit sticky but its just as effective and if you find the right temp you can pull off lots at a time with little residue.... rather be doing that in winter than playing with dry ice

 

I stripped the bituthane from the interior of a 280ZX once. I simply removed the carpet, then let the car sit in the hot sun for a few days. The interior got so hot that when I opened the doors and started peeling the stuff off, no tools were required.

 

you could heat it up, but i like winter and working in the cold, so it was no problem for me. I just hope it isn't too loud when I'm done....

 

Call SYSCO food distro they may sell you dry ice cheap..
