We had vinyl linoleum in our bathroom and I removed it but have patches of sheets of glue left over. What's the best way to remove it?

    What are you putting over the sub floor? Can you scrape the glue off with a metal spatula or can you sand it?

    You can use acetone, the kind you get in the hardware store not nail polish remover. Let it sit a minute or two and scrape it up with a scraper. Make sure you have plenty of ventilation while using acetone.

    I’m wondering the same thing. I’ve scraped and scraped. It won’t move. It looks like mine has paper on the floor with the glue.

    Same, same.
