wow...all I can say is wow... What kinda brain damage did that dude suffer from to ever think that was a good idea?

You should be able to use a heat gun or a hair dryer to soften that up. Once you get it soft,use a plastic squegee to scrape it off. Just be sure to keep it hot while scraping.

i dont know what he was thinking he didnt even repair the small rust holes either before he put that stuff on. any kind of chemical that will softin it.

Did a search and came up with Xylene, MEK, acetone, and a few others. Just be careful. Heat sounds like a good idea. Whatever you choose go easy. Dont want to cause anymore damage. You may want to swing by the previous owners and kick him in the nuts. People that dumb shouldnt breed

good i think i have about 3 gallons xylene . ive know him for a couple years now and i couldnt do that hes a pretty good guy. hes just a little misguided ,

Just try a small area first. I would hate to cause more damage. But when i ran it thru bing, xylene came up a couple times
