What is the best way to remove, Rubberized undercoating? Options

[skline]

Ok, I decided to strip all the undercoating off from the areas I want to weld in the stiffening kits. I thought it was just some thick black paint but it is in fact undercoating. I got a chemical stripper and it says it will remove all coatings in one shot. I have applied the first coat and then scraped it but it seems a bit tougher than I thought. Any other suggestions on what I can use to remove all this stuff?

wire/cable wheel is probably the easiest..but also going to be slow

ive found that a heat gun and a paint scraper works well, also an acetylene torch, just have to be careful with it

i dont think sandblasting will work, since the coating is relatively soft, it will jsut absorb the material and the impact

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Bingo! Torch can be dangerous but does get a lot hotter than a heat gun. Warm it up however & then use putty knives, butter knives, screwdrivers, etc... After you have the bulk off use the wire wheel and/or sandblast. I know this from personal, agonizing, backbreaking, tedious, filthy & horrific experience. I did this to my truck & a 69 Charger R/T to lower my bill on my trucks' restomod. Not easy but you will be more than pleased at the end results.
