0 KaiserRolls Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 He said he pulled off as much as he could, then wire wheeled the rest off with an angle grinder He said it's a bitch and makes a mess GLWS Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GunMetalGrey Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I used a screwdriver and chisel to get as much off as I could, then grabbed the wire wheel and got to work. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 straight6pwr Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 torch the back side to make whatever adhesive melty without burning the insulation? anyone try any chemicals? gas or something may just melt the stuff, although making chemical messes is no fun. maybe put it in the freezer and see if it gets super brittle, maybe it will chunk off easier?

0 KaiserRolls Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Even tho harness covers go over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GunMetalGrey Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 That's why. It would look crappy covered in the rubber stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jdesign Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Awesome. Im going to start with freezing it. That works well with normal sound deadening material. If not, touching and scraping it will have to be. I was hoping there was just a chemical that would dissolve it. I will report back once I figure out what works best.
