Topic: Removing Nasty Carpet Adhesive
Just started working on our new car this weekend and the first order of business was to gut the interior. Got all the interior trim out without much problem, but when we pulled the carpet up the padding basically disintegrated. Half of it came with the carpet and the other half remained stuck to the floor boards along with this thick black adhesive sheet.
Unfortunately we can't peel the adhesive off because it just breaks up as soon as you start scraping at the corners. We tried using some paint thinner and a metal scraper to pull it up, but even with that it's still being stubborn. Has anyone ever encountered this stuff before? What other solvents do you think we should try, or is there a different method we should try?
TIA
