Removing last of the carpet tack strips
The evil carpet installer used way too much glue on some of the tack
strips. I pried up most of them but some broke through and have left about 2 or 3 mm worth of wood and glue sticking to the concrete. No they're not nailed into the concrete and the nails in the tack strips I removed just fine. I'll be laying down moisture barrier, foam padding and then bamboo veneer snaplock after that. I imagine the surface needs to be reasonably level? I'm not sure how much I can get away with leaving on the concrete. The glue seems to be a yellow colour and kind of gummy like chewing gum. Alone I can get it off the concrete at least. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Melanie |
