floor. What is the best way to get it up?

What have you tried, how did it respond? Is it glued all over or just
around the edges? Are you going to put down new carpet or refinsh the
wood?

I've read that freezing with dry ice will harden the adhesive allowing
it to be chipped off.

I've done glued down linoleum with a Harbor Freight multitool
(#67256). It isn't all that fast, but it does get after the adhesive
layer well enough to make the job possible. Ought to work on your
project.

Soak it in the blood from the bashed-in head of the gluer.

Mechanical removal. Scrapers, putty knife, shovel, etc. Acetone
might work, but a large area is not too practical. Knee pads should
help, at least a little. Yeah, it can be a long tedious job.

On my boat, not exactly the same and smaller, I just got a hold of one
end and ripped it up. Then scrapped where it did not come up clean.
You do not need a real good surface if you are recarpeting as you can
cover it with a pad.

It looks to be glued down to the hardwood floor all over. We plan to put
down a sub floor and some kind of tile. Although the blood of the person
who put it down does sound promising - but not at church LOL
