I've heard dry ice helps to chip it off (after you have removed the top foil layer). I thought heating it would make it sticker and more viscous? I could be wrong. I'm trying to avoid the whole scrape with a putty knife thing at all costs, because it's probably going to be the whole floor of my truck. I hope it doesn't come down to this.

Haha ya I more meant after the foil layer was pulled off, and a putty knife was scraped over the remaining gunk. You still think the sand will just stick to it? I feel like it would be hitting it pretty hard, maybe it would take the remainder off? Thoughts?
