flat screw driver or something similar but not too sharp as can damage or make holes on body, get a nice sized flat head and chisel it all out, takes time but when you get the hang of it you learn your oun way and it comes out quite fast.

when you finally finish use sand paper or wet and dry to get the rest of the small sticky bits off.

makes it so much lighter, just feel the weight of it all in the rubbish bag after!

hope it helps. its one of those just get in and do it jobs even though its crap!

im alright man you

The easiest way mate is to get a blunt chisel and just crack the stuff, and it will just come off in pieces. If you start heating it up it goes all gooey and horrible

tried the screwdriver and hammer way and took over an hour to do a piece no bigger than 1ft x 1ft..

used a heatgun and did the same sized patch in under 20 seconds.. once the sticky crap left over has cooled down a bit of wet n dry will get rid of it no problem

well, i started with a smallish flat head screwdriver and it worked realy well, took about 15 minutes to do the bit under the back seats, then another 15 with a cloth and white spirit to get the rest of the shit off.

proceded today to do the floor pans. all i can say is after i had removed the carpet and underlay its obvious some cock has used the floor as a jacking point

but never the less got most of that off today.

can belive howmuch noise comes through the crumple zone tho, may have to cover it up...
