Deadener Adhesive removal tip

as we all know most of our deadener material has a black layer of sticky goopy adhesive that is used to stick to the frames of the car or whatever we're attaching it to. some might find removing this material is a total pain in the ***.

well here's a tip: gasoline and a scrubber //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

wether its on metal or on cloths, some gasoline and something to scrub hard with should take it right off. i thought a good shirt of mine was ruined when unknowningly a piece of deadener in my cloths bag stuck a bunch of goop crap to a nice shirt of mine. i experimented with success, and thought it'd share. the scrubber might not be too easy toclean so make sure it isnt an important scrubber since there might be blackness on it afterwards

pulling mine off by hand was fun..hands were all cut up for weeks from where the silver foil had cut very cleanly into my hand (had to remove immediately)

hrmm i'm not so sure that soaking your clothes in gasoline is a great idea. and you better hope you don't get too much friction scrubbing

alll very good ideas that if needed ill try in teh future....the spots where not that big that needed to be cleaned, but still big enough to need a cleaning......i dont think the gas really hurt the shirt much at all if any. barely any scrubbign was needed..but im glad you guys added to the idea pool....

if the adhesive is really heavy they make a drill attachment thats basically wheel shaped eraser. Takes it off real quick and wont hurt the paint.
