Glue down carpet removal.

Remove as much of the carpet glue as possible by scraping it using a razor blade scraper. If it s a different type of glue i dont know for sure if this will work but i feel your pain. To use the scraper attachment insert the blade into your reciprocating saw and lock it in place.

The scraper can easily remove big chunks of the glue which helps get the job done more easily later.
