Carpet removal/ adhesive

[chix-lips]

Hey people, Going to start a restoration project this winter, and I need to replace the carpeting and remove the adhesive from fiberglass, If you have any tips you could help with or a good web site to share that would be great, Thanks

The best technique we've found is good old elbow grease. Sometimes, we cut the carpet in sections if it is really stuck on. Most of the manufacturers use solvent-based glues, so once you get the carpet up, you can wet a section of the remaining rubber and glue with a solvent and it usually will scrape off with a putty knife fairly easily.

Like Steve says lots of elbow grease, and you could try a can of 3M adhesive remover part #08984. See how that works.

Yea I figured it was going to take a little elbow grease, But at least it will worth it.
