Do I need to remove carpet glue? Most is worn off, what remains is adhered well to the concrete

I aslo had this problem in one room and just put it over the glue, it took more paint and the coating had worn quicker than the other room that I rented a sander and removed the glue. Cost of sander rental was about 50 bucks. The only good thing about leaving the glue was even wet it was not slick but hard to sweep up the floor. I would never do it over glue again.

The edges of the carpets are finished at to avoid fraying, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you then finish the edges. Otherwise it will fray.

My floor was unpainted cement. I followed Rustoleum directions. I would send and e mail to Rustoleum for their opinion.

If you soak the area good and wait until it has had about 24 hours to dry it should have used the enzymes in the product to destroy the urea crystals. Then you can use an oxygen based detergent to clean it thoroughly and hopefully it will be fine. Being able to completely access the stain is key but it worked on my carpet very well.

Not much that can be done that I have found. You can try to clean it with a mild soap and a stiff bristle brush. Concrete will remain lighter colored for a while, as it is 'clean' since OSPHO is an acid based product, it works similar to cleaning the concrete with Muratic Acid. Most places mine has dripped have eventually evened back out to the color of the surrounding areas.

Definitely clean it. Any paint can only adhere to whatever is beneath it. You want it adhering to concrete, not algae.

Putty knife and a hammer would work great. Just put the putty knife between the concrete and plastic and hammer it in to remove the adhesive.

Hey, I would recommend non marking sole tekkies. The carpet gliders is not recommended for concrete.

i'm not sure what its made of, but this would really work. be very careful when you use it not to get it on any hardwood floor, use something thick lile a magazine under the area you are working on. also, i have heard that if you use a little vasoline on the tip of the glue nozzel, that it will keep those strings of glue from coming out and bugging you. i would definitely try this glue for this. i have used it for fraying many times. i try not to use alot of glue so it doesnt show. cut off the smallest amount on the tip so it comes out slowly and put the glue over the frayed area. wait until it dries and then trim off any small strings. the area that you glue will be a little darker and stiffer, but its better than having your rug unravel. there is also a product called fray check, that is used in sewing, but its thinner and might not work for a thick area like a carpet. if it just the serger threads you want to fix, you might try it first. it will dry a little darker and be a little stiff also. i hope this helps. if you go with the fabric tac, use gloves to protect your manicure. try it on a small area first. i love this glue and use it for many things.

My floors are concrete I would not know. What I do know is that I have had them for 2 years and have gotten some heavy use out of them and they still look as good as the day I got them. With good maintenance I have definitely gotten my dollars worth.

I agree with David. Scuff the surface of the floor where the glue will be applied using 100 grit sand paper. It shouldn't take much. Just take off some of the shine.

I put them on concrete in my garage...low traffic area...and have not needed any adhesive. Double sided carpet tape would work. Depends what they are going on to

Not well, it's a temporary fix. Moisture is it's biggest enemy . If it's for indoor use, you'll be fine. nothing will adhere to concrete when moisture is involved, no matter how well you prep it.

Fasten the stop to the concrete with Liquid Nail glue. It will take a strong solvent to remove the stop if ever. Needed.

Not sure what you are experiencing. I had no such problem but used it indoors last fall. If it is cool, it is likely to take longer to cure. Humidity in the air is also a factor and certainly if the concrete has water content from washing, the cure could be prolonged. Likewise, wrong ratio of resin and the hardener could do the same. And stirring it thoroughly is necessary. My advise would be to let it sit until it is NOT tacky. If that never happens, I would add very thin coat of sand and brush it lightly. eventually, it will harden up.

shouldn't leave residue unless its on left on for a while, meaning a few days or more. as for lifting it, depends on how well the carpet is put down, how long the tape is on, if its walked on, ect. this is pretty much true for any tape

No ! It needs to bond to the surface of the concrete! Not ment to be applied over primed & painted concrete !
