Several years back I had a very dumb idea that I needed sound insulation in my civicl. The car's been sitting for a long time and I've finally gotten the ambition to work on it. It's going to be a drag car....but....theres about 50-70lbs of "fake" dynamat stuck to my floorboards.
Is there anyone out there that can recomend a decent way to remove this stuff? It's stuck pretty good and theres a whole lot of it.
So far I tried a heat gun. That sorta kinda worked, but made more mess than anything else. I gotta wonder about the saftey on that too
I thought about using a block of dry ice, but theres a ton to remove : /
I believe the name of this stuff is brown bread. Very tar-like.
Any help is much appreciated.

 

hair dryer (or heat gun) and a metal putty knife and ALOT of elbow grease

 

Dry ice should work well. Just get it put it on until you hear it cracking and start scraping it off

 

yep dry ice ftw. when it starts cracking start scraping

 

yeah dry ice it. dont buy the block buy it in pellet form

 

dry ice

 

score some liquid nitrogen....

dry ice takes too long

 

Why is this is welding and fabrication? You're not welding OR fabbing anything? Mod needs to move it.

 

gtfo.. where else would it go? honda accord forum?

 

gtfo?
This would be better in drag, misc and appearance, etc.
Seriously, gtfo? grow up.

why would this be appreance.. hes not going for looks, maybe hes not dragging his car? maybe its road racing? who knows.. its not your car but i do feel very strong that this would the most appropriate forum for him to post in, since a lot of these guys in this forum know what they are talking about.

this is where the post belongs. reason being is that everyone who installs cages has to take that stuff off, and this is the section that all the cage fabricators hang out most often. so backoff son. haha

P.S. dry is what works the best or even if you do it in cold weather the stuff breaks off fairly nicely. just pound it with a hammer to break it loose of the floor and use a chisel and hammer.

 

dry ice FTW

 

to get the rest of the residue and stuff that you can't scrape off you can use 90% rubbing alchol and lots and lots of elbow grease.. its really tireing but it works.

 

with my teg just an air chizel is all I needed.

 

i did it once with dry ice and the next time just hit it with a plastic hammer and it popped up

 

Man you guys are doing it the hard way. This is the by far the easiest and it only takes a minute

 

Oops, checked this a bit late sorry

It seems dry ice is the way to go. I'm going to give that a try. Is there a store I can go to to get dry ice? I'm afraid this has strangely never come up before

As to the whiner who is telling me to move this post:
Dont waste your time replying if you dont like it.
It doesnt really fit in any category as far as I can tell.
I thought welding/fab is most appropriate as I would consider this a custom project.
I thought the people in this forum would be more likely to give me a creative and effective solution.

Of and I am fab something. I'm building the car of my dreams (thumbs nose)

Grab a phone book and look up dry ice or most bigger ice cream stores have it.

 

if you dont find a place for dry ice, get your self a can of air, the kind you clean keyboards with and such, flip that sucker upside down and spray the insulation... it will freeze it in a second and will come rigth off.
