Subject:removing insulation adhesive
From:jake beaulieu

Hello,

I have removed the cabinets, refrigerator, etc from the interior of my AC 82
Westy.  This whole project started because I had a major mouse invasion
complete with a cozy little nest built in the wall.  Once I got everything
cleaned up I just couldn't put it back together without hitting the rust
with POR15, adding sound deadening material, and re-insulating with material
that would not hold water vapor.
I have removed the original insulation and am prepping the sheet metal to
receive the sound deadening material.  I am using some IceWatch stuff we
talked about a couple of months ago.  Anyway, I am finding that the adhesive
that was used to hold the original insulation in place is very stubborn.  I
would like to get all of this off the sheet metal so the sound deadening
material has a clean surface to adhere to.  Have any of you found a good
solvent for removing that junk?

Thanks,
Jake
