I will look into the vibrating multi tool, but a heat gun and an 1 1/4" scraper wasn't too bad so far. I have about 12', bathroom vent, and 3 roof rack anchors cleared so far. I also have proflex, using proflex for the areas I've cleared with dicor smothered on top to "bulk" it up a bit to match the original before applying the e tape.
I'm not able to doing anything today, so I am sorting out my strategy.
