I pulled off the engine side firewall rubber mat and I'm having a hell of a time getting the glue off. Hit it with brake cleaner and Goo Gone with poor results.
I'm sure somebody has done this...what did you use? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks! Kev |

A 3" sanding disc. I got pissed off at the results vs. time with the seemingly dozens of other techniques. The Cap'n

The Cap'n I was afraid of this...I hit it with a wire cup brush and started making a little progress but can't reach all places with it. There has to be a solvent that breaks down that adhesive. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Andy PS: don't try to do a large area at once as the BC evaporates quickly. do smaller patches, like 6" x 6" at a time ... hehe... that's the way I did it too. I was working at it for about an hour, sitting in the engine bay, before Brad checked in on me and thought of putting a fan on me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Oh- one thing I remember.. Everytime you wipe with the towel, use a clean spot of the towel/rag. Otherwise you just smear the adhesive goo around. Also-- ammonia works great for breaking down adhesive. But-- yeah. LOTS of ventilation. When I worked at a tint shop, we always used ammonia to remove residue from the glass. Alas, I don't know what effects it has on paint. But if you ask me, once that back pad comes off, you need to just wipe that slate clean and repaint. Jen |
