Got lectured at work for flexing a golf cart on a pile of snow. I parked it with the right front up about 6" and the right rear was off the ground

Spent about an hour with a can of goof off, rubber gloves and a wire brush removing the 7x13" (or so) sheet of foil that is glued down under the carpet. There is one under each passengers feet and all are useless and annoying...
I then spent about 15 min with the kiddo removing one of the other sheets with a chisel and big flat head screwdriver. I got almost all of the glue off with the dry method...
Call it a live and learn situation: the right tools and a methodical approach to doing the job will make it a lot quicker and easier. That goof off is good, but I was trying to remove a lot of glue at once. No matter if I scrubbed it with the wire brush, blotted it with a rag or used the scrapper on back of brush; it was arduous and smelly. Also I burned thru the yellow kitchen gloves and a layer or two of skin on my thumb in the process...
I've been removing carpet so I can deal with the rust and holes... Ugh... Pics if ya want! Peace!
