Sucks, but the best way that I know of is going to be scraping. Most chemicals that will remove the glue will also effect the finish and integrity of the concrete floor itself and you don't want to do that.

My first question would be what are you going to be putting back down on the floor?

There are a number of ways to get the old adhesive off the floor.

There are a few products that you can use to remove it or you can scrap it off the floor.

You might want to try "dry ice" on the glue.

I know "tilers" some time use it to remove old tiles/glue.

Freezes/brittles the living you know what out of it and it scrapes off. \:\)

where does a guy get that stuff. and i bet its dangerous and alot of money.

I think we just need to redo it with carpet. This way we dont have to get rid of the glue, can just place it over the top

Look up dry ice in the yellow pages. And on your next trip to Canada you'll know where to go as well \:\)

That stuff is the bomb, a little spendy but once you try dry ice you'll want it for every long distance trip.

When we do this comerical we use a grinder/Sander. You can go to a rental place tell them you are looking for a sander to remove the dried up Glue residue that was left behind from pulling the carpet.

See if you can get one that has a vaccum attachment to it. for it will get very dusty in the air.

If you can't get a sander/grinder with a vaccum attachment, then set up fans and blow the air out a door or window.

This will be alot ezier and alot less costly then putting a thin layer of concrete down.

Which most likely will only chip up later as it gets wear and tear on it

Dry ice is compressed gas and comes in various forms. It's not a hazardous material but will burn you bad if not handled with gloves or scoops. It's manufactured @ -109 degrees so it's darn cold \:\)

You will find a manufacturer/retailer of dry ice in Burnsville.

Just west of the mall on (42) about 2-miles @ the Savage/Burnsville line. Gets pretty spendy (over $1 a lb) after it leaves that place to other retailers of it so thats where to go (.50 lb). I can get a good deal on it seeing I'm connected. ;\)

The sander option mentioned might be the more convenient method.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!
