I'm currently stripping my mini body for a repair and respray. I wanted to remove the sound deadener on the underbody to carry out rust repairs and replace it, and a guy I know said to use the oxy to heat up (not burn) the deadener and just scrape off with flat tool or the like.
I commenced yesterday, and the stuff just peels off like magic. It's a bit messy keeping the tool clean but had the stuff off in no time. Just had to ensure all flammable bits on the inside were off as well.
Cheers
Brian

Oxy is a bit drastic, a decent electric heat gun works pretty well. My Makita gets so hot i can silver-solder with it... :shock:

I fixed rust on the bottom of my 1000s, all i did was clean it off with a wire wheel on a grinder the weld new metal on. Any left over under sealer just burns out of the way.

It was a cool flame from the oxy, but after seeing the photos - sounds like a heat gun and wire brush is the go. Could eat your dinner off it!
