You can cut, scrape, etc. to get the old stuff out but there is no solution that I know of that will disolve it. Gasoline and a match might do it rather quickly though.

You can not. Whatever will disolve the foam will attack everything. It has to be chipped out by hand.

Moving to proper forum.

Don't know about desolving it, I used a sawzall to cut snapped out the big peices with a wonder bar and scraped. The remainder I got rid of with a flapper wheel
