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. Joe |

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. |

Removing glued carpet
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 -- Dymphna Message origin: www.TRAVEL.com |
