Im working on stripping all the glue/resin from the floor board on my 72 914 1.7 but its easier said then done. Is there some sort of trick to stripping the glue/resin out thats easier.Right now im using a combo of a electric scrapper and propane torch but its still taking a lot of effort to get it up. is there some sort of chemical i can get that can soften up the glue and make this process easier?

I used an electric paint stripper (Heavy duty hair dryer) to get it warm. It separated from the floor in good sized chunks. Then a putty knife to pry/lift the pieces up.
Don't get it so hot that it starts to melt or run |
