Removing Liquid Nails from an aggragate patio
Sigh, it never ends - does it?
When we moved into our new house, there were two 'things' on the patio, made from D-shaped landscaping blocks from Lowes. One was a cylinder-shaped thing filled w/ dirt and plants, the other was oval w/ a goldfish pond in it. Neither were appealing to us so I removed them. Well, not only were the blocks glued together (with Liquid Nails), but they glued the bottom row to the aggragate (pea gravel) patio!!!! I had to pry the blocks free w/ a wrecking bar and now I have blobs of glue remaining. Before I start picking it out w/ a screw driver, is there any easy way to remove or dissolve Scott's Liquid Nails? Some solvent or something to soften it up? I was thinking of freezing it with upside down cans of dusting air, then chipping it out, but that would take many many cans. I've used this technique to remove adhesive-backed stuff before. Here are a couple pictures shot from the deck so you can see what I mean: http://www.geocities.com/stevekulpa/temp/patio1.jpg http://www.geocities.com/stevekulpa/temp/patio2.jpg any suggestions? thanks, steve |

Removing Liquid Nails from an aggragate patio
Try Acetone or this stuff: http://paint-and-supplies.hardwarest...lk-removers/li... Wow, that stuff looks pretty cool. I never knew something like this existed. Last time I had to remove Liquid Nails I just chipped off as much as possible. Since it was holding a mirror on drywall I then remudded over the whole area and floated it all level. But this remover stuff looks promising. Mike |

I just ordered some, so we'll see!
steve I'm really curious, could you come back to the newsgroup and report how well it worked? This kind of a remover could come in handy in numerous situations if it is effective. My arms get tired from chipping anyway. Mike |
