How do you remove black mastic from sheet rock
So my bathroom had these massive mirrors on the wall which i removed.
im guessing this is black mastic on the sheetrock. Im thinking heat gun w/ scraper to remove.
Any better ideas?

I wouldn't use a heat gun, it will just smear it all over. Use a chisel or a window scraper... scrape the paper off like Larry said. You will have to patch and sand the wall any way you look at it.

After scraping or cutting the adhesive out, prime the wall with Zinners Gardz before skimming.
The primer will adhere and seal the raw paper and keep the mud from bubbling or having pin holes.
