How to get carpet adhesive off?

Question

Im removing old carpet and rather have the tile that is underneath. How can i remove carpet adhesive. Im using goof off but the glue is so thick it is hard to remove. I have also use a thin skrapper....that didnt help much either... it just spreds the glue everywhere.

Any better product i can use to remove the glue?

Answer 1

lighter fluid  like for cigarettes or BBQ fluid   pour some on and scrap it off.

Answer 2

The glue that attached on layer of linoleum to another was so persistent that when I had new linoleum installed they added a new 1/4 inch baseboard.

Acetone is the strongest chemical for dissolving glues.  But it is dangerous to use.  Most hardware stores should carry it.

Answer 3

try some WD40 u might have to let it soak but it will help
