The sealer between my firewall and cowl is due for replacement. How do you guys get it all out? I plan on adding a long tube to the new sealer tip to get it all the way to the edges, and I want clean metal for it to bond with.

We will try tomorrow.
Just saw something interesting on a show where instead of heat, they froze sound deadening material with dry ice and it flaked off.... dunno how you would freeze the seam sealer but may be worth it to give it a shot.
Worst case you have dry ice to play with!
I use a map gas torch and a sharp putty knife. Gotta be careful not to burn the putty, but, even then, it comes right up.
