Friday, December 29, 2006 2:54 PM
alright, ive tried at this for hours and have no luck.. im fiberglassing a dash and most of u know the vinyl has foam under it.. well the dash is out of my 96.. so its been through alot of sundried days and what not.. i cant seem to get all of it off.. ive tried heatin it to help and nothing seems to work.. hard to scrape off.
Anyone have any suggestions on how i can remove or dissolve the foam? its pissing me off..

try getting some adhesive/wax remover that is made by 3m, i'm stuck at the same point and think i talked to you on AIM about it and seemed like you were in a nasty mood cuz you wouldn't really tell me how u got it off. But that's besides the point, i got most of the vinyl off and what i did was spray the 3m product on the foam and let it sink in for a few minutes, then got a flat scrapper and started going at it. Works for me and got it down to the black plastic underneath. Lemme know if that work or if you find a better way!

i've tried 80 grit sand paper, didn't do me too well, and manta don't worry bout it it's cool! The container is a spray can bottle, it was like 4 or 5 bucks at wal-mart, i'll try and find it online for you. That is what i'm using too is a putty knife and let me tell you it sucks, and i got a few cracks already in the dash! GRR...i'm just finding it hard to keep the dash steady and go at it with the scrapper. But i haven't had time to work on it. I'm rambling but i know ZFLIP24 or something that was doing that big conversion but scrapped it, used some sort of 24 grit grinder disc to get it all off. I thought about using some type of electric sander
