well there is a certain technique which involves a rubberband, a broom, and a clothespin and the ice must be placed on the exact center of the tar for it to work. if not, it will eat through the sheet metal. you must let it sit for exactly 6 hours, 31minutes, and 54.56 seconds. and then use the aforementioned materials to build a makeshift lathe which will remove the tar. after doing this you must cover the entire surface with an exact 75/40 mix of butter and spicy mustard. leave this mixture there and let the ants/bugs eat it away and eventually after about a week you'll have a floorpan completely devoid of any tar, and about 1,000 new little friends.
of course there's no special technique, just throw the **** on there, watch it fizz bubble and freeze the **** out of your floor, and rip it off with a chizel.

I love california
LOL 3is
Spec, nope, nothing fancy, throw it on there, wait for the popping/cracking to stop, and hit the tar with a hammer. big ole chunks will come flying off.
wear glasses, don't want a piece of dry ice to get in your eye.

I have used both in pellet and block form, and I prefer the pellet, though the block will be cheaper..(were talking about a just a few dollars here).
The block, you'll have to section it into smaller pieces. A couple lbs will do it.
With the pellets, it gets a little more messy, because they tend to bounce around more when you start pounding with the hammer...and you can crush quite a few pelletes that way, so you need more...but you can get more surface area out of them...they just aren't as easy to use on the tar that is on vertical panels..
