Spent 3 hours fighting a stubborn creosote deposit last Tuesday

I was working on a job in an old house built in the 1920s and hit a spot of glazed creosote that just wouldn't budge with my standard brush. Tried the poly whip attachment and it barely made a dent after 45 minutes of work. Finally broke out the rotary scraper and some extra elbow grease and got through it in about 15 minutes. Has anyone else found a faster way to deal with that rock hard stuff without tearing up the liner?

Pre soak it with a degreaser for 20 minutes first.

Yeah that's way too long. Just spray it and wipe it off right away. Degreaser works fast if you get a good one.
