i herd about this awhile back and i tried it on the weekend its as easy as it looks in the vid so so so so good

i spent about 4hours with a heat gun and fuk that it took about half an hour to do the whole car with dry ice

[biggo]

winter + hammer and chisel works for me.

I have noticed that ke70/ae71 soundeadner is easier to chip out tho. mush be cos theyre cooler and chick dig them

i found heat gun works good....but owellz xD

[marvis]

Dry ice is the way.

dry ice for the win.
you suckers and your heat guns...

I used an old health grill, perfect for the floor pan, just put it on top of the tar, get the right temp and it just peels off in nice big chunks. Not so good for nooks and crannies.

Good luck with it,I just finished doing mine,no heating,no dry ice just chiseled the shit out of it.Took me bout 6 hrs to do but I done it over a week.I was amazed that I got it off with out heating or anything,but were the joins are its a prick to get the sealer off so I just used a wire brush on my drill and came off like a dream.

^ Fuck that.

Dry ice and like 20-30mins.

done 3 cars with a heat gun, scraper and thinners before i saw the light.

my car had a pond inside (due to numerous rust holes) before i bought it from a mates brother-inlaw. watched him take out the sound deading...it was soft and almost soggy, almost pulled right out.

Did you weigh everything that you removed, how many KG was there?

[redsprinter]

pretty heavy stuff ... i have a whole box of it after taking it out of the sprinter a good
10kgs

[Eircamae86]

Where do you get dry ice & how much? going to do the adm & weld her up later in the year

[350hp4agte]

BOC gas supplies its abut 6 bucks a kg ya probably need 5 to 10kg's

[Matt-AE86]

Heat Gun - You can use this, it takes forever, its messy and hard work. You get blisters

Chisel - Kinda the same as heat gun, takes twice as long

Dry Ice - Buy it from BOC GAS. Put it on the surface for a few minutes. Remove it. Hit the sound deadening with a hammer to break it up, or leaver it off in a big peice to put it back later.

Do it. User dry ice.

[Eircamae86]

Ya, Im there to set my account up, I dont like hard work, theres no need

I did it on a stinking hot day. Wasnt too fun. Dry ice for the win though. Made the job sooooo much easier. Probably rook 2 hours to strip the sound deadening from my ke sedan. Now to do the wagon.

I used dry ice on my sprinter! Removed every last bit of deadener... had to do some manual scraping on the gooey bits though...

SupaGas sell the stuff for $8 a scoop (about 1.5 to 2kg in a scoop i reckon). I used three scoops, 1 to try the stuff one day, and another 2 to make sure i could finish it off. If you get more, you can probably reduce the time taken (more stuff gets colder, quicker). They also sell the stuff in bricks... a couple of bricks might work well, specially for verticals, not easy to pile up pellets on the firewall....

Chiseling woulda killed me!
