What tools do you use to remove sound deadening?

Today I spent the day removing sound deadening from the GTI. There is still some left, but most of it is gone. What tools do you normally use for this job?

Some pics of the job:

Really depends on the car. I normally use dry ice and a square edged hammer first. Sometimes the melt sheets will come off easily (Mazdas) sometimes it'll leave a residue (BMW's). Other times I'll use an air hammer and a wide chisel w/the ice (Neon) and then have to scrape afterwords and clean up with mineral spirits.

Other times the flat chisel and air hammer usually work. The Fox body mustang I just finished had half of the sheets come off BY HAND... the rest was air chisel.

I rarely use heat.

A heat gun and a putty knife. Then some solvent to get the residual.

Air chisel with rounded corners so you don't cut the floor pan like I did. Then drape the residual with blue shop towels. Soak them with mineral spirits and go drink a couple of beers while it does its thing. Wipe up the remainder and wash it all off with purple clean. Clean again with paint prep and shoot it.

bingo. i tried a lot of options, including dry ice, but the heat gun/plastic putty knife was the combo that worked best by far. no chance of damage (hammer, chisel, metal putty knife, etc.) either.

I used one of those small propane torches and a putty knife on my rabbit, probably the same as a heat gun just a little faster in thick spots

This is how far I got so far:
