Why in the hell would anyone use construction adhesive and nails for panel?

I'm removing old paneling in my basement and replacing with drywall. I
reach an area of the base where the past owners used CA along with panel
nails and it's a MFing nightmare to remove. I have to use a scraper and
hammer to pry it away from the stud. I can't think of any easy way to
remove it without scraping.

Anyone ever experience a similar issue?
Construction adhesive is normally used when installing
paneling over sheet rock. I don't know about over
studs, but I expect that even if you don't need it a lot of
people would just go along with the standard procedure.

One solution might be to just put the new drywall over the paneling?

I'm guessing it's too late now. I'll bet that he has created an uneven
surface by removing the paneling that came off easily and has already
begun to hack away at the remainder.

I don't blame him, he probably had no way of knowing about the CA until
he got started.

BINGO! Too far into it to reconsider over panel. Besides, I hate a half
ass job and prefer to do it the right way.

How are you removing the excess CA? I had to remove several very large mirrors that were glued to a wall and
then had to remove the excess adhesive from the back of the mirrors. It is not the same as standard CA, I
used a thick, long handled curved scraper and I heated the blade over a torch. The heated blade made the
adhesive removal much easier, but it was still a pain in the ass.


Scraper and hammer.

I wonder if it might be easier to cut out and replace the worst of the studs? Better you than me.......
