DV19 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 So we're Removing Sound Deadening Material from our late model Mustang. After trying the Dry ice method to no avail we used a heat gun to get the Tar-mat out. Now, how do we get the resido/glue/left over black tar off the body. So far we've tried Acetone, Zynol and adhesive remover. Nothing works......... Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilson7 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 All of those chemicals you listed will work but it takes time! LOTS of time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasaracer32 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Get one of those halogen lights and set it up facing down onto the tar crap. Wait until that stuff starts to smoke a little bit and then scrap it up. I found that to be the easiest way and then go back over with a wire brush. DO NOT set up the light and walk off because it doesn't take long for it to heat up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASA Jim Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 WD40! It works for everything. Just make sure you keep the rag clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
