FLOOR BOARDS, INSULATION Options

[TINCAN914]

Question: I have removed my carpeting, if you can call it that. Iam trying to prep for paint in the coming months. THe question that I have is this. I have seen posts regarding the insulation or sound proof pad. (Not sure of technical name)
It dosen't appear that I have anything there. Basically what I see is a light yellowish looking film, (similar to what is on the firewall) Beyond that, I don't see anything. Does anyone have any pics or lonks to a previous post as to what t looks like.
I don't want to waste my time if I don't have to.

Feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

I will give it a shot, and post a little later. heat gun is much easier if done right ... get a big putty knife and heat up large patches of the tar, like 10-15 square inches at a time. it'll come off in large chuncks with the putty knife. the trick is NOT to get it too hot so it melts, you just want it to be warm enough to flex and it'll come right off the floor ... dry ice is *much* more of a PITA ...

Oh Andy I don't want to hear that....
Went and got the dry ice,should have stuck around.. ANyone know how long I should ltypically let the ice sit before going after it? Smackit a few times withthe hammer? I will give it a shot, and if it's a pain, then I will look at investing in a heat gun.
