sanding sux bad!!! but you just have to keep sanding, and sanding, and sanding, till its done.. dont think there are any shorcuts LOL...
We started on the sealant (black tar) with petrol. but also found turps works as well and probably not a stinky.. gone through a ton of rags, but it comes of pretty easy..
good luck dudes

toby,

Personally id leave the foam out....all that stuff is good for is trapping moisture and causing rust.

You can replace that black tar with more 'black tar'...such as K + H sound deadener all alternatively you could paint it
