Removal of Tar Type Undercoating

[George Beston <gbeston@domain.elided>]

Ron, the undercoating you're intent on removing gets quite brittle when 
cold.

Park your Duetto outside on a cold day like today for a few hours.  
Then bring it inside, put it up on stands and lightly smack the 
undercoated areas of the floor with a hammer in the areas where you 
want to remove the undercoating.   This does two things: it tends to 
crack the undercoating and also to release it from the metal it's 
sticking to.

Then tackle it with a hammer and a scraper of some sort - I used a dull 
1" wood chisel.  The undercoating will come off in fairly large pieces. 
 If this sounds like a lot of work, it is.  However, I can guarantee 
that it's far less work than trying to scrape undercoating off when 
it's warm and relatively soft and sticky.

Good Luck!
