Stripping Interior
jb4845 - January 14th, 2006 at 09:21 PM

Just starting my resto on a 69 Kombi and have begun to clear out the interior.

What I want to know is the best way (i.e quickest and easiest) to remove all the 'stuck-on' soundproofing and panel protection (i.e around seat bases and cabin dividers)?

Is a heat gun and scraper a good idea, or perhaps some sort of solvent to get the glue off?

Any help appreciated :thumb

Paint scraper with blunt ends so it dosent dig in and cut the existing mats if you want to keep them. there hard to get new

Use some presolve after there out to remove the glue n gunk

Acetone will destroy all glues and gunk
