Removing old sound deadner/body schutz
I am stripping the floorpan of my 56 bug (still) and underneath someone has sprayed on this rubber type sound deadner or body shutz which is 3mm thick
in some places.
Anybody know how to remove this stuff?I am using polly stripper and turps but it only softens the top and turns it into a gooy mess, and it has to be
removed before sandblasting.
Any ideas would be great, cheers

Hi Oldnslo,
I had that problem too, while restoring my 74 bug the only way i found to really remove it was using a heat gun and a paint scraper. Then an angle
grinder fitted with a really strong wire brush it took for ever but worked .
Good luck

Try Petrol if will soften it but you will have to scrap n scrub theres no easy way
Most sound deadeners are Petroleum based so the petrol will make it easier
Dont 4 get its a $1.50 a liter so use it wise
