So how dangerous is that undercoating on 60s cars? I have heard some people say it has asbestos in it. I have a 66 Thunderbird I am about start working on and I wanted to start by removing the undercoating.
I have not noticed any signs of asbestos on my vehicles however all of the older cars do have asbestos and lead in them and you should use the appropriate PPE when working on them.
Do you think this would work on the tar kind of undercoating? I dont know what it is to be honest. Its gooey and the 3M pads just smear it everywhere without removing it. It also burns so I can just weld around it...
@@xtune5731 Ill give that a shot. I found a way to make my own aircraft remover, the old stuff with the banned chemical. That will remove it though lol.
I bought an old jeep and the previous owner sprayed the entire jeep with it. I'd like to remove it but everyone says it's nearly impossible. Do you think this would work?
I think it would be very difficult to do. You could try a small area that would be easy to cover up if it didn’t work. I think I would find someone who could sand blast it.
that seems to work pretty well.
That tool works great to remove auto body filler aka Bondo
Yes it does!
Undercoating is a nightmare. Your method seemed to work fine. I went with propane torch on my '69..

There is a a special tool available for a Multitool to do exactly this
Do you know the manufacturer of it?
What is this tool?
Thanks for letting us know what the tool is

I don’t think it. Everything I’ve used it has been dry and hard. You could try some xylene on a rag and rub it off?
Some strong degreaser, letting it sit, and then going at it with a puddy knife and wire wheel does the trick for me

That might be faster than torch and putty knife.
