Is there any advice for removing dried urethane glue residue from Bruce
pre-engineered flooring (pre-finished flooring)? The installer did not
read the instructions about removing the glue before it cured, and now
its is very difficult to take off. Mineral spirits or paint thinner do
not seem to be working. Any advice will be appreciated.

There are some specialty products for removing dried urethane glue, although at
best they soften it up enough to allow it to be painstakingly removed. In
general, it's very difficult to remove dried urethane glue without harming the
floor finish. Is the installer doing the cleanup? I'd make sure the ignorant
SOB fixed his own mistake -- there's going to be a lot of man-hours in the
cleanup, assuming it could be done at all. Just don't let him near the floor
with a scraper.
