How much Dry Ice do I need ?

**markoJEK1** · 14-01-2008 03:30 PM

Planning on removing all the sound deading in the rear in an EK1, from where the carpet ends to the boot (rear is completely stripped), just wondering on how much dry ice I am going to need roughly, so I dont over buy or under buy when I go out to get it (have to make order of how much I'd like 1 day prior to pickup/purchase) , so for those who have done it, give me some numbers.

it's abit messy but that's what rags are for. lol.

zico says 6-7kgs for EK.. | scraper and degreaser is used to remove the residue after the main pieces have been removed.. 2kgs enuf for rear and the rest for under the carpet

use a heatgun and a flathead chisel. Abit more muscles and patience but works best

I removed mine, but I didnt go for dry ice, I waited for cool weather and even got a bag of ice from the shops and it did the trick.

chisel , hammer , wire brush , tar remover , degreaser
Thats what I used on mine.

Dry Ice FTW, Clean and fast.

You just peal off the pieces with your hand. Where chiseling probably takes several hours, Dry Ice, done in less than 1 hour. Wear gloves.

BOC Gases - go to yellow pages and search for nearest BOC GAS's.. theres one on horsley drive wetherill park, near the temple. they have it for $6.70/kg | bring an eski to carry the dry ice home or expect to pass out at the wheel and have a car crash
