Lizard Skin SC Prep - 07/26/2010

Well, this weekend was a nice slice of hell. I decided to go ahead and sound proof my interior with lizard skin spray on sound control while I had everything stripped out. A big part of the job is stripping the stock sound dampening mats. Thought it would take a weekend... I was wrong.

I've read all the threads on the club about doing this and knew it was going to be challenging, but nothing prepared me for this.

This took two days of HARD work with a heat gun and a paint scraper. I've got chemical burns on my arms and legs, temperature burns on my fingers, shredded hands, and a bruised & cut head. It's not easy fitting a 6.1" man in all the little nooks and crannies of the RX7 cabin to remove this stuff. Plus it doesn't help that a stripped down cabin is essentially an obstacle course of exposed studs and sharp corners.

I know... Everyone says to use dry ice, but I couldn't find any in the one-horse-town I live in... Still have to knock out the trunk area next week before I can vacuum, clean, and prep for the spray on sound insulation.
