Default removing silicone/glue

is there any tricks to getting this glue/clump of sillicon up? the previous owner of my hatch put some crappy carpet in. they put a crap load of glue/silicon down. i removed my seats and was gonna remove my carpet and replace it with oem carpet. unfortunately theres a crap load of this gunk everywhere.

most people will say just cover it back up, but i don't want to. i want it out. any tips or tricks? ive been using a scraper and blade, but its taking forever..

I think someone used dry ice and that worked. Other then that I can only think of elbow grease and a scraper/chisel.

Good luck!

just a little update. i highly suggest picking up a bottle or two of goo gone if you ever have to remove this crap.

pour it on wait about 5 minutes and the silicon/glue pulls right up.

FYI safety tip: Dry ice is pure CO2 (carbon dioxide), so only use it in a well ventilated work space.
