Removing Insulation/Adhesive from Interior - Any Safe Solvents?


Recommended Posts

I've started stripping out the backseat area of my 510, and I'm having trouble removing all the last bits of fiberglass insulation that are attached to the chassis (there was some under the vinyl liner over the wheel wells, and there were some rectangular patches behind the bench seat).  I think the 44 year old adhesive is to blame.  Has anyone had any luck with solvents that don't damage the interior lacquer paint, or am I really limited to heat/cold application and serious elbow grease?

I like the citrus based solvent idea.  I have some pure orange oil that I initially bought for soap making but found other uses including dissolving old styrofoam to make a glue and cleaning my bong.
