Check your local tool rental center for a power scraper. It will be worth the cost.

Answer 4

Painstaking, but i've used an iron.  seriously.  if you warm up the glue well enough, it'll loosen and you can scrape it off.  I've tried to scrape it with the pole scrapey thingy and that is exhausting.

If you have two irons working, you can multitask and it'll go reasonably fast.
