How to clean carpet glue up from cuddy
I put in snap in carpet but there is alot of nastly looking glue left behind when I take it up. Anyone have any suggestions on how to remove this? I wany to buff the area but figure I need to clean up the sticky residue first so I dont ruin a buff pad.

I went looking for that 3m stuff in the quart can and was told they don't make it anymore because it was not environmentally friendly. They sold me something else, that does not work so well. I need ideas too.

Some tips from another site
go to www.napierenvironmental.com They have a product developed specifically for removing underlay glue called ''Foam-Off''.Sure beats sanding and scraping.
A 4 1/2" Grinder, with a "Cup" Wire Wheel.......And, Wear a Mask.....
If the glue residue is very heavy, the grinder and wire wheel is probably the way to go. If it is not too bad, one of the "orange" cleaners on the market will work. Go to a local janitor supply house and tell them what you are doing & that you want a 90% d'limonene product.
I used a Dual Action sander with 40grit
Yep the grinder wheel worked the best and best of all it was free. Been working like a dog every night . Finished the carpet part in a few days. I have finished all the fiberglass work and will be shooting the white gelcoat this weekend.!!!
''RemovALL 700'' an all purpose glue remover for underlay and glue down carpet residue.They have a wide variety of strippers for many applications , epoxy , lead paint, asbestos,and work on fiberglass , steel, aluminum, wood,plastic etc.The productline was initially developed for stripping anti-fouling paint here at Canoe Cove marina, as an alternative to sanding which is not only labour intensive- it poses a containment problem.From there they developed a whole line of non toxic, water based[ as opposed to solvent based ] strippers

Sounds like whoever told you that is full of it. I just bought two quarts last fall.

heavy duty citrus cleaners , we use it to remove tile adhesive from under asbestos floor tile, environmentally friendly and easy to use, spray on, let it soak and do its job then remove
