My house had some poly tiles stuck to one ceiling. I removed the bulk
of them mechanically with a paint scraper. Each tile was stuck to the
ceiling with five blobs of glue. The type of glue was unknown, but I
would assume it was something sold as a poly tile adhesive.

I was delighted to discover that a steam wallpaper stripper rapidly
softened the adhesive and it was possible to entirely remove it with a
paint scraper.

The worst type was some form of rubber adhesive, and nothing I tried -
including steam would remove it easily. Of course, if it was on some form
of soluble paint like distemper, that may have given way to the steam.
