Jutefelt removal? Removing the entire carpet and stubborn underfelt material? 120-130

Hey all,

this may be common knowlege to some but i am currently mystified as to how to do this most effectively. Spent all last night applying an adhesive-remover- goop to the dried hardened material that was adhered to the floor after i pulled up all the jutefelt. I assume its a mixture of jute and whatever factory adhesives they used 40 years ago to keep it all in place. Ive managed to get some of it off with repeated scraping of a plastic stripping tool. Does this sound like the normal procedure? Do i just continue applying this goop, letting it sit and soak and then scrape etc etc.. Or is there some miracle adhesive/jutefelt remover substance out there that someone knows about? Would love any suggestions.

cheers

j.

    Heat Gun + Putty Knife 120-130

    Its absolutely correct that a heat gun will soften that junk up for easier removal. It works the same with that tar-felt kaka that you sometimes find on your kitchen walls in an old house.

    I used a good quality Hyde 1" putty knife to remove mine, along with the last of the jutefelt.

    However, I think that stuff is supposed to a be a sound-deadener and it is ahered directly to the floor with nothing under it but paint, so there's no really clear reason to pull it out unless your floor is rusting away underneath (which is why I removed mine).

    I did not know it was asbetos. You can get a decent asbestos filter mask at home depot for around $25.00

    Heat gun, this will also soften it and make the asbestous fibers adhere better. Be careful not to overheat things on the other side of the panel in question (wiring insulation gas/brake lines etc.).

    Cheers!
    OK

    That stuff on the floors (and inside the doors, and on the roof above the headliner and inside the trunk) contains ASBESTOS. If you must disturb it, do so with GREAT care. I'd keep it soaked with water to prevent any of it from becoming airborne. Better still, leave it be. Very nasty.

    Best,

      I've got an old magazine ad that mentioned the asbestos... Volvo (and everyone else that used it back then) was proud of it...

      I'd leave it be were I you. Or be cautious as has been mentioned....

      Not to say the car is unsafe... just.. well...

      Hey- I would probably use a paste paint remover such as Kwik and a metal putty knife. This will remove the paint underneath, as well. I'd be more concerned with using a heat gun as it could ignite the jute. With paint remover make sure you have proper ventilation and it works much better if it is not too cold outside. You could finish up with a rotary brush chucked in a drill. Greggo.
