Removing undercoating?

[Steve Roth <sroth@alscarchitects.com>]

Daun,
I removed a ton of ruberized undercoat from the underside of my '78
Scirocco.  I used a 3M Stripping Disc.  You can buy them at your local
hardware store.  They attach to the end of a drill, or other spinning
tool with a chuck.  This is one of the most useful abrasives I've come
across.  It's sort of hard to explain what it looks like.  Not
sandpaper, not a wire wheel, sort of some coarse fiberous stuff cemented
together with some kind of goo.  Very rough.  I tried sandblasting, but
with my small sandblaster, it went slow, and most of the sand just
bounced off the rubber.  Hope this helps.

Hey all,

I need to remove some of that nasty factory undercoating
from the floorpan of my truck so I can patch a couple
holes.  Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way
to remove this stuff?  Chemicals?  Heat?  Combination?

TIA!
