Max Strip Floor Adhesive Remover, Carpet & Mastic Glue Stripper, 1 Gal

This worked well to remove the yellow glue that was gluing carpet to hardwood. I recommend putting it on thick. If it's on thin, it will dry and not work well. I left it on over night because I forgot I applied it in a bedroom and the stuff came off like butter.

This makes removing sticky residue from peel and stick flooring a breeze. AMAZING product would definitely recommend to make the job easy.

I found that I have to leave this stuff on the carpet adhesive for at least 6 hours before it actually softens it enough to remove. Many times it takes 2 coats to really remove it. So far, it has taken 2 gallons to almost get 160sf room adhesive removed - VERY EXPENSIVE. Looks like it will be 3 gallons for 150sf - thats 50sf per gallon - does not seem to go far

I was hesitant to buy this product due to the cost and having less than 1000 reviews. I am glad I went through the purchase because IT WORKS! After pulling of our 1950's outdoor rug, what was under it was brown adhesive residue. Before I could repaint it I had to remove the glue but didn't know what to use. After much research, I came across this product. It's amazing, I left it on for 1-2 hrs after brushing it on with a paint brush. I then took my 4 inch scraper and was amazed at how easy the adhesive came off. Don't think about it twice, make the purchase its worth the price!

Made the job of stripping my basement floor of 30 year old glued-down rubber matting. I still had to rent a motorized floor stripper and bang away at it though. It really worked best after I had one run over the floor with the rented stripper.

This adhesive remover works very well AS LONG AS it is left on the surface long enough! In my case, I was removing water-based carpet glue from concrete—the glue was actually holding the felt padding under the carpet. After ripping up the felt, the concrete floor looked in some places like Bigfoot's hairy back! With my 1st effort, I used a paint roller to spread the glop pretty thick and left it for maybe four hours. It made scrapping much more effective. But I had to buy two more jugs to complete the entire basement floor. (The 2nd round I left the glop on for 6+ hours.) FYI: Being a little anal retentive, after scraping and cleaning off the felt and glop, I used HOT water and a scrub brush on my hands and knees to fully strip the concrete. Without this product, I would not have been able to do it! It removed 92% of the glue; the hot water and brush did the rest. *Put a pillow or padding under your knees if you go this route! There is a scent to the remover. Initially it was a bit overpowering, though not totally unpleasant, but it didn't make me think I was being poisoned by dangerous fumes. But if you can ventilate... our basement has two small windows so I vented with a fan for the entire project. The product arrived unopened with no leaking. In short, this product worked. Just leave it on longer than you are patient for!

I used this remover on CARPET TAPE residue that was on a painted surface. The remover was allowed to sit for the half hour required in the directions. NEARLY all the glue came up with the remover...a sticky film remained. Rather than reapply the remover I chose to use Goo Gone to remove the remaining FILM of glue because it worked well and I didn't like the mess of the remover. (The internet recommended Goo Gone for the entire job, but I tried it and it didn't work. That's why I bought this product.) Just know this is not an easy process. It's rather messy so have a lot of rags handy. As the remover lifts the glue it turns into a kind of jelly that is still sticky and gooey. I used a paint scraper to lift the jelly onto a rag so I could dispose of it that way. Newspaper works too.

This stuff works good

Does what it says and works really great.very easy to use is sticky at first but then it all comes away once mopped up,value for money and left all floor really clean .
