removing undercoating

I did it on my 70 dart while it was on jack stands. I used a cheap harbor freight heat gun and a putty knife. It worked very well. Just watch out for the lava hot rubber. And wear eye protection. It really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Oh yeah keep the heat gun at an angle that the under coating won't drop into it.

This is the method I used. Also a razor blade scraper. Then I used solvent on rags to clean the surface. After that Eastwood rust encapsulating paint.
