I've used this product for scraping carpet adhesive. The only different process was that I applied super hot water on top of the adhesive remover to help soften it up and let me tell you it worked wonderfully.
Thank you for posting this. I had tried so many things trying to remove liquid nails from my entire sub floor. I was about to rent a commercial floor sander and do serious damage. Your overnight under plastic method worked beautifully. Saved me a lot of repair work.
You are using the wrong scraper. The one you have is for scraping up tile, which is why it has the rebar step on the side to help put weight on the stroke when needed. That type is also used to remove gum and/or tar from sidewalks. The one you want has a 4 to 6 inch replaceable RAZOR BLADE.
Haha! Those floor scrapers actually do come sharpened, but the blade is flipped around to protect you and the blade. You just have to take the screws out and flip the blade around before using.
Like owning a knife, you and own one, no one needs to own one without the skill to sharpen it. All steel will become worn, after use. Having knowledge to sharpen on correct angles isn’t difficult but learning that skill save you from blade replacement’s
Something to look into get yourself a 175 floor buffing machine ( the ones you see people use to strip wax off floors) . I just got done removing glue off a Vct tile floor the customer wanted waxed later. He had glued on LVT in areas over it. They changed the layout of the store and removed the LVT. They called me to remove the glue and restore the tile under neath. First I applied glue remover then did some scraping. The remaining glue I grabbed the 175 applied wax stripper. The rest came off real easy. I had one section where the glue wasn't as thick. This area I just applied stripper, no glue remover product. Let it dwell for 30 minutes ( put down a lot of stripper 3 parts water to one part stripper) flooded it good . With the 175 buffer machine and a black pad it came all off like butter.
Public Service Announcement: I used Sentinel 747 on my 900 sq ft commercial office using the method described in this video. It successfully removed the glue, but has left behind a toxic smell that makes you sick if you go inside without a respiratior. It's been 3 weeks. We've tried air scrubbers, ozone treatments, scrubbing the concrete slab with cleaner. Nothing has worked. The smell is even in the ceiling tiles, which we will have to replace. I'm hoping that using vapor seal products will seal the smell into the walls and the slab, otherwise, we may have to gut the place. I strongly recommend using other means to remove adhesive. I sure wish I had.
What a mess. For future reference to anyone in a similar situation look into renting an edco machine with carbide scraper blades. One person can do this size of room in a day.
I'm going to get this product now. I'm on my 2nd failed product trying to remove vinyl adhesive from concrete and just set off the fire alarm trying my heat gun. 🤦♀️ I am at my wits end!!!
Just used this stuff on my flooring to get up adhesive from peel and stick tile but it left a greasy finish on my floors even after mopping with water and degreaser. Is this just me?
