Removing sound deadening tar
I've heared of using both dry ice, and heat to make it a shitload easier. But from what I can find, dry ice works much better. Anyone know where I can pick some up locally? I honestly have NO clue where to even start to look for dry ice around here...

Re: Removing sound deadening tar
I know there is a place on Uni just south of 694. Local market on the east side of the road with a big sign about dry ice.

Re: Removing sound deadening tar
I thought most convenience stores/gas stations carried it, but I may be wrong.
While dry ice may work better to remove the stuff, heat will be able to be applied faster.

Re: Removing sound deadening tar
And you should get some gloves. But what will you do in 3 years when you want to convert back to stock?

That's what happened to my car too. It was damp and came off really easy.

Re: Removing sound deadening tar
Well, I don't plan on flooding the car... And if I ever go back to stock, I won't worry too much about sound deadening

Re: Removing sound deadening tar
You could cover it all in wet towels for a night and see if that helps. It would be like a pseudo flood

Re: Removing sound deadening tar
Use some of that keyboard cleaner everybody used back in the day to chill their intercoolers to freeze it.

Re: Removing sound deadening tar
I use a heavy duty scraper and a hammer to get that stuff off. For the most part with will flake off but there will be a few spots that do not want to come off. A heat gun with help also and then go over everything with paint thinner to remove the residue.

Re: Removing sound deadening tar
I just picked at mine through the winter last season. Remove the carpet, gut it, and let the winter take it's effect.

Re: Removing sound deadening tar
I would remove as much as possible with heat and then visit your local decal artist and get some industrial strength adhesive remover.

Re: Removing sound deadening tar
The dry ice worked amazingly well. No sticky residue left over either. I'm happy w/ the results. The $13 is worth the effort and time it saves. Oh, and for anyone that wants to do this in the future, don't pour water on the dry ice in the car because you think it'll look cool, you just end up making a mess... Don't ask me how I know...

Nice! I always heard people suggest it, but never saw pics of results or heard anyone first hand who had tried it. That looks like the way I'll go when I build a road race car.

Re: Removing sound deadening tar
