What type of glue remover do I use for this? I have linoleum floors in my bathroom. I put down those peel and stick carpet squares. I want to pull the carpet tiles out, but know there will be some glue left on the linoleum. I don't want to use anything too powerful. What can I use? Thanks.

Removing Carpet Glue from linoleum? We have a hallway in our house, where you come in the back door. They're used to be linoleum but the people before us put down carpet. They also did that in an adjoining bathroom. We removed the carpet from the bathroom, but the glue from the carpet was a nightmare to get off. We aren't worried about the stains it will leave, we are putting down linoleum tiles over it, but the glue has to come off or else it will mess up the new. We want to take up the carpet in the hallway now, so what I am wanting is something to get the glue off of the linoleum easily. Maybe something such as a home-made solvent, that involves less scrubbing. The glue remover from the stores did practically nothing, so I am looking for an alternative. Any advice is welcome, thanks. Sorry, its not foam backed, just some cheap carpet, like people use in basements and such

How do we get the surface of the floor smooth?

Can I seal over wallpaper glue to replaster? Okay, so we moved into a house built in the late 60's and the room my son picked was pink from the carpet to the ceiling. We removed the wallpaper, but the glue remained on the wall. We have used DIF and steam and sandpaper, and all sorts of different glue removers and they work a little, but are so much work that we only get about a 2 foot wide section done in a day. We are having a guy come in and spray a new coat of plaster on the walls when we are done. My question is....can we buy a sealant that we can just cover the glue and then have the plaster sprayed over it instead of months of scraping, rubbing, spraying, and headaches? Any knowledge based on experience would be most appreciated. Also, please keep in mind that I have tried DIF and other adhesive removers.

My two year old spilt a whole bottle of wart remover on the carpet in the middle of her bedroom. So far I've..? tried a mixture of 1 qt. water mixed with 1 tsp each of liqid detergent and vinegar then rinsed and blotted. After that I then tried disolving oxyclean in warm water and scrubbing then rinsing and bloting. The wart remover has basically turned into this white gum-like glue that just isn't willing to disolve. I need to know if there's some other thing out there that I can try.
