There's residual glue when the flooring came up. *I'm going to put

the glue would cause any problems of if I should go get some glue

I'd get as much up as I could. *How hard is the glue and could you just
scrape or sand it off?

It's not rigid. *It's like a super-adhesive rubber cement.

It won't be easy to get up if you can get it up at all.
Lowes has a **** scraper, as big as a shovel but just a big ol piece
of flat steel, you can sharpen and edge on it.
More than lilely it will tear up the surface of the wood.
Screw 3/8" plywood down, putty the seams, let dry for a couple days,
sand the seams with a belt sander.
Don't use stick ons, get the rolled stuff at Lowes - buy it a little
bigger than you need.
Remove the baseborad, install the roll - trim to fit, reinstall the
baseboard.
If this is a rental property you'll thank me.
