More stripping best way of removing bitumen? - 306GT30 - 03-02-2013
ive removed the dashboard yesterday and now thinking of removing the frontcarpetpiece , some sounddeadening that is behind the dash.
Heres come, what is the best way to remove the deadening/bitumen (dont know how you call this stuff in english) that is on the carsfloor underneath where the seats are.
some use a heatgun, some use ice...
What youre looking at in time to get this shit removed and have a nice clean floor???
any help, input would be great, thankyou

i use an air chisel and either thinners or acetone to remove the residue left over.
depends if your going to respray the area after aswel because then you could use a combination of air chisel, drill wire brushes and angle grinder flap discs to remove absolutly all of it (including the paint)
i think you should remove the paint and respray the interior the same gloss black as the exterior of the car, would look mint then

I was stripping a car yesterday and there was nothing under the seats and carpet. So I have ripped the carpet and crap out with by cutting it with a knife.

Hmmm i dont have an air chisel..
im commited to a few hours of labour, but i just dont want to start something i later on hate finishing with being worse then being raped in the arse... if you know what i mean
What do i use in first to get the crap off? heatgun?

id reccommend buying an air chisel, makes it about 100x easier, you can pick up a genuine sealey one over here for less than £20 so im sure its not going to affect your budget haha

Biodiesel seems to have done a good job of turning mine to mush
RE: More stripping best way of removing bitumen? - 306GT30 - 03-02-2013
Hmm
Air chisel work with compressors right? ive got a huge compressor in the barn but that one is f*cked
Biodiesel.... hmm, ive also heard people using ice, freeze is and it comes of with nice big chunks...
Although i think i cant be bother to do these now, im just gonna remove the front carpetpiece also and spray the bitumen black, nice project for next winter
Theres still a hell of work to do....
thankyou all for your replies
