[85yoter]

does anyone know a trick to get the factory gunk thats under the carpet off of the floor board

[wesley]

are you tanking about the hard stuff thats all over the place... or the gooey junk in the back of a runner

[85yoter [OP]]

the hard stuff    but i have spilt a few beers and sodas and now its soft in some places

[pumkin toy]

usually you can just chip it off with a heavy duty flat head screw driver and a hammer.  That has always worked for me, but if its soft, idk what would work best

[85yoter [OP]]

iin the hard places it comes off pretty good with a screw driver    but the soft stuff is nasty and dosnt wanna come off ? 

[yotaneck13]

and chizzel thats the only way

Use some dry ice on the soft stuff.  It should harden it so you can chip it off.  I have not tested this on Toyota sound deadening but, at least this is true for the other cars I have worked on.

yeah its the sound deadening coat but i want to get it off some i dont have to put my bedliner over the gunky stuff   and im going to try that dry ice today ill update later to let you know and thanks

I have been using a $10 harbor freight heat gun, and a 1/2" chisel. It seems to be working all right.

[85yoter [OP]]

i decided to just go over it with bed liner and be done with it     if i had more time i would get r done but im waiting for some 4:7 gears so i can put my cases together and put my chevy springs on and finish the high steer for this summer   alot to do not much time   

[yotatough]

I'm told dry ice works wonders. I chipped mine, but it was mostly brittle

[yotaneck13]

[85yoter [OP]]
