Well, I finished gutting the interior of my 68 Chevelle today.

The brown stuff you see on the floor is glue.
The carpet was stuck to the underlayment, and the underlayment was glued to the floor.
Once I got all the carpet and underlayment up, the floors are all solid as a rock.
What is the best way to get that glue up?
I want to POR-15 the interior to protect it, and I don't imagine the POR-15 will adhere real well if I leave the glue down.

I was able to reach inside and clean & grease all of the window rails and gears. They roll up and down real smooth now.

Behind the dash is dirty of course, but the metal is all good and solid.

After the work was done, it was time to sit outside and relax with a well deserved Partagas.

My next project with it...I'll start cleaning everything up and then POR-15 the entire interior.

Regarding the POR-15...
I have a sprayer. Will the POR-15 spray pretty good, or should I just brush it down?

I have never used the product (POR-15), but I did some forum reading on it.
Looks like most are using a brush and roller. Lots of complaints about headaches for up
to two days if not used in a well vented work area and using a respirator.
I may look into some of this my self....Good Luck..Nice project..:thumbsup:

Word of caution if you dont know what your doing spraying the POR-15 can kill you if you dont take the precautions with the correct respirator and a well vented work area.

That subject has been covered on this site before. So be very careful of what ever you decide to do.

If you spray-----------------USE A RESPIRATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! END OF THAT DISCUSSION!

My recommendation is to just brush it on. First, it smooths/evens out real good. Second, who's going to ever see it???????????? It'll be for protection, not for looks. I wouldn't worry too much about getting all the glue off of the floor. Jusr POR15 it real good. Jab the brush back in the corners and cracks real good. You can't use too much. I love it!

THE GLUE! Fun subject for me. I restore drums and have to scrape off tons of glue as a result. I consider myself a glue removal expert!

Goof Off! No substitute for goof off! if you inhale enough of it the job suddenly seems more fun (so use in a well ventilated area if you want all of your brain cells). You can buy a gallon jug of it for $20 at Home Depot or Lowes. It will eat through the glue. The hard part is scraping it off. As you scrape, the glue beads up and falls off. To do a whole floor pan will be an exercise of patience.

I would ask a local sandblaster if you could do a rough job scraping the glue off with the Goof Off and have him take the rest off with the sand. I have no experience with sandblasting glue so don't ask me about that. It may not even be possible.

All I can tell you is if the glue is anything like the 1970's glue I've had to scrape off, its going to take a while. Its an easy job but super boring. Hire a local teenager with a good back to do it. I would say the jobs worth a good $200 for the aggravation (believe me its miserable).
