Best way to remove old bedding?
Let's hear it. I have a dremel tool so what is the best and /or easiest way?

Dremmel. I've used a burr bit, but you have to have the stock in a vice and your hand secure to control it to avoid nasties outside the bedded area. Finish with a sanding drum. May not be the best way but it worked for me.

I don't believe it is necessary to sand the area where the bedding has been removed. I belive it will bond better on a rough surface. But I do like the bur bit idea.

Lay it out by the street with Monday's trash. Someone will come by and take it away.

Personally, I've been taking an interest in one of those Sleep Number mattresses.

For a hypothetical question I think I like your solution best.

A heat gun. Warm up the epoxy and it comes out just like putty.
