Default Prepping interior for herculiner

Hey all, I am getting ready to start prepping the inside of my XJ for herculiner and was wondering if I should remove the heat shielding material from the floor or coat over it? I will attach a few pics to show what I am talking about. If they do need to be removed anyone have any recommendations on how to get them out as they are stuck down pretty well.

The dry ice method is supposed to work well.

I would leave it and coat over top of it, you could spray a self etching primer on it to help the bedliner stick to it.

I used a drywall scraper/putty knife and heat gun to remove most of it, then I hosed down the rest with automotive goof off for a few days.

I am am going to try making my own liner/pre liner out of latex paint and microballoons. It supposedly will give it some sound and heat dampening (similar to lizard skin). I will be using it on the floor and above the headliner.

Ultimately my jeep is my project car so I’m not too worried about more road noise.
