heat gun or halagen light. white spirite and lots of elbow grease btw place the halagen light flat over it light facing down. heats the stuff up

leave the white spirit to soak as long as possible. i found an old credit card works well for scraping it off or even better a spreader found in bodyshops for filler etc

i'll tell you how i got mine off......but keep it quiet.........There's 2 ways.......the hard way....and my way.
dont spend ages heating it up, making a big sticky mess.
Go find a load of old co2 fire extinguishers....with co2 left in them.......Lightly spray the floor with water, then use the co2 to freeze the stuff( maybe a square foot at a time).....then, a quick chap with a hammer...and the stuff breaks like ice !!!! all thats left is to pick it up....
