Slippery slope
Discussion
Started the day like this:
The glues doesn't show up that well against yellow in pictures but there sure is plenty there.
I got the DA polisher out and gave all surfaces a quick going over to scrub off some of teh remaining sound deadening:
At first, with Xylene and rubbing with rags NOTHING happened .... the glue was mostly just too thick and abrasive microfibres soaked in solvent will simply not do it. It took me a while to work out all sorts of techniques with credit cards, edges of black CD's and other such scraping utensils. Really thick patches need a LOT of work so its best to concentrate on small 3cm x 3cm areas at a time. You need a lot of solvent .... scraper in one hand and a spray bottle of Xylene in the other, replenishing the solvent at very regular intervals like some sort of dental assistant.
This is about 4 hours work in total. One seat done, the central hump and one side of the left hand seat. Not too bad once you have worked out your system and quite satisfying in that cleaning sort of way. So messy though .... glue everywhere including your rubbush bag, your gloves, shoes, trousers so everytime you try and do anything you get stuck to something and have to peel yourself away.

What about the Credit Card sized electronic hotel key cards?
I have loads of these FOC if you think that they might work
