Jute Backing Removal

[Gerald C.]

I’m removing the carpeting from my 63 and found out that it might be the original carpeting as evidenced by the jute backing still there after I remove the rugs. Any thoughts on how to remove this jute? Maybe just good old-fashioned scraping??? Any other recommendations on other methods would be appreciated.

Here's a picture of what I'm facing.

Jerry, Original 63 Carpet was FOAM backed. That Jute is not original. Removing any backing is always tough manual labor. Lots of scraping.

Good luck.
