best way to remove sound deadener

[scrape]

i heard dry ice will make the sound deadener go brittle and shatter when attacked with a hammer and cole chizzle...... anyone done this befor or got any other methods of removing this extra weight?

and is there any sound deadener on the underside of floor pan?

[sonsta]

i did my red ke with a hammer and chisel dan, it wasnt much fun.

dry ice is the way to go but, no idea where you would get it from but

[shift_rook]

yeah dry ice i've heard is a good method, probably the easiest though you have to be careful how oyu handle it.

i can get dry ice from brisbane

i just used a hammer, chisel and a screw driver to get off the bits in awkward positions. didnt take that long at all.

and does it leave any sticky bits on when done like that

It varies from car to car on how eay it will come off. But dry ice is probably the easiest and quickest method.

dry ice and a hammer ! :D theres a video in technical articles if you would to have a look looks really fun

[scrape]

fark yeah maaaad im on it

[--Redwork--]

Having never tried dry ice I can't comment... But it HAS to be easier than just chipping away at it normally... And I agree with marvis.. I varries considerably from car to car.. Some are damm easy, while others are just rediculous..

anyone from Melb. want this done.. i might be able to get some dry ice...

Personal Testimony! Dry ice works! it works well, and leave your chizzle in the shed.. the only hard part to do is the deadener on the firewall.... but just leave the dry ice on the section of the floor for a few minutes then move the ice to another section then get your hammer and wack the floor and it shatters like an easter egg.. it makes it all brittle.. its good fun if u like breaking things! ;) on u can get Dry ice from BOC gas

dry ice works ... but you need alot of it to do a whole car .... can get expensive .. i say spend $15 @ bunningds for a heat gun ..... i find the heat gun method the best ... if you get the sound deadner at the right temp you can almost pull the deadner off the car in 1 piece . and you dont damage the shell by using a chiesel and hammer.

^^ mine cost me nothing. u actually dont need that much. i did the whole car with about 3 kg of it

[marvis]

I use heat gun for hard to reach places.. Like the firewall etc. I paid 30$ for dry ice to do my car.

really ? i cant remeber exactly how much i used but it was about 2-5kgs of off cuts and it only did the floor pan.

but each to their own .

[cky767]

I used 1 kilo for mine and didnt need that,

It could have been done with no sound deadener, just a hammer and big flat blade screw driver. dont bother with a heat gun it will just get all sticky and horrble.
give it a few love taps with a hammer and you'll find the screw driver just slides straight under it.

What would be the best way to get rid of this junk?

I have the same problem currently and haven't really tried yet. maybe wire brush and some wax and grease remover or some other solvent?

[gumbie]

Grinder + Wire wheel for that shit marvis, gets really dusty inside though lol, then use petrol to clean all the little bits off.. couldn't even tell my old car even had sound deadning in it! :P

[scrape]

does anyone know how much weight we lose gettin rid of the tar?

[shift_rook]

some cars have 30kg's i can't rmemeber for sprinters it's 10-20kg. my cars ahd it removed but i have to form of sound deadener stuff i'm goin to use, probably end up wayin 1kg but hopefully it'll stop me hearing every single rock under ym car

[ae71]

dont strip off the stuff on the underside. its there to prevent corrosion

FAIL!... hammer and chizzle or screwdriver gives a rank finish as pictured below! (no offence marvis) trust! i tired this 1st and it gave me the craps beause it looked like below.. dry ice gets it off clean!

^^my dry ice cost me nothing because i got it from work.. its was only bits n pieces.. scrap really.. i put it all in little freezer bags to stop the floor getting all wet. and BTW use some good gloves , gardening or welding gloves

that is just going to require patience and a hammer n chizzle.. :cries:

[cky767]

mine didnt turn out like that, its a really neat finish, maybe mine was just different.

[sonsta]

[marvis]

I got a hardcore one that goes onto a Grinder.. It got me in the leg yesterday... Wasn't fun.

And then you think:
"Damn! I'm sure glad I was wearing safety glasses"

Or alternatively:
"Damn! I maybe should have been wearing safety glasses"
