Looking for a cheap way to get the glue used to put down carpet off of wood flooring.. Would this do the trick?

i suppose if you are careful.....am assuming you are talking about an under layment wood surface, not any flooring, e.g. pine, oak, etc. I would use a sander instead.

Not sure what type of grinding wheel to use, but the grinding disc that comes with this model is meant for metal and would likely damage the wood floor and gum up with glue. A different wheel may be needed. Otherwise, this model has done some moderate grinding work and performed excellent. I recommend this tool for price, performance and so far reliability. Hope this helps answer your question!

I believe you would be more successful using the scrape blade on one of the reciprocating tools like a Fein Multi tool. I have used mine and had good luck with the removal. You can pick up one of those tools for less than $100. Good luck with whatever you decide to use!

Try a product by the name of "goof off" It should take the glue off and not damage the floor. Use alittle at a time

Try some double sided tape, it worked on our hardwood floor. Also, might look for some of that rubber cabinet liner stuff too.

Yes, just get some WD-40 spray and a plastic putty scraper and you will be able to remove it in no time. the tape is the foam, double-sided tape in Qty 2 of 1/2" wide each. I never taped mine to the floor because they are in low traffic areas.

It may work but be careful....this glue expands A LOT and is very difficult to clean-up. I tend to use this particular glue on projects that don't require so much "neat and tidy" results. It is a strong glue.

I doubt it would work for that especially! This product didn't help for anything! I learned a trick from s friend she told me carpet tape works great! You can find it at home Depot or Lowe's for cheap!

You could try using a hair dryer to heat the glue to soften it and thus make it easier to remove.

I have used it on my hard wood for 5 months and it didn't do any damage. I did have to use soap and water to get some of the sticky residue off. I would always try applying the tape to an out of the view area before using it to hold a whole carpet. Just to make sure you know how it reacts to your particular finish.

I figured it would be iffy as this product is more or less like Goo-Gone; it removes sticky stuff. In my review, I also warned readers that when I attempted to remove a sticker from a lovely wall shelf, it took the finish completely off, so I feared it would ruin the carpet. However, I happened to have a piece of carpet. I sprayed a bit of red paint on it, let it dry and then tried Goof-Off. It did not damage the carpet but it did not remove the red paint at all. I would try rubbing some paint thinner on the spot with a stiff brush, followed by some soapy water on a sponge. This has worked for me in the past.

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.

use plastic that will not scratch your paint and heat up the glue somehow, hairdryer maybe, and slowly pry off.

It depends on the wood underneath the carpet. If its smooth and flat, then you should be fine. I would pull the staples and nails instead of hammering them, and I highly suggest you use a adhesive flooring primer. If the wood isn't smooth and flat, sand it down and definitely use the primer.*note* for lining it up, there are arrows on the backing paper that you use to line it up. We went every other one up then right and loved the design.

I used this on my wood stairs and it worked very well. I'm not sure what would work on carpet.

I did't use the adhesive strips. You won't need them if it will be under furniture or otherwise out of the way. I guess another question would be is an adhesive solvent like Goo Gone going to hurt your wood floors. According to their web site, it should be fine. http://googone.com/Goo-Gone-Problem-Solving

I have never tried that. For wood, I always use Elmer's wood glue - the yellow type. This product works Excellent with metal AND plastic as I have used it for ......

I used the ardell adhesive remover it worked fine for me. I tried it on a hidden area on my floor before applying it to the spot I wanted removed. Hope this helps
