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.
Have you thought of using one of those vibrating saws?
I don't know what the generic name is, but they are widely
available. The blade vibrates at a high speed and cuts through
stuff really well. Doctors use something like them for cutting
casts and bones and what have you. I have one from Harbor Freight
that does great. You can get scraper blades that may do the job.

Funny, I was thinking the same exact thing yesterday, then I remembered I tried to use my HF oscillating
multi-tool to remove mirror adhesive and it was less than effective.

The oscillating tools are really great, except for how quickly I wear out the blades. The tool allows me to
do things in minutes that previously would have taken hours.
