Default Need to Remove Glue

Took up my front carpet,Bubba was in there and glued everything down.Have the carpet up and I'm scrapping the glue off the floor. Is there something I can spray on to dissolve the Glue so it scrapes off easily.

I found that a wire wheel works well, but messy, cover every thing.

Bubba worked at the factory.

Ya know you cant see a bit of it. Why does it need removing?

It needs removed because its probably keeping a lot of the foam backing stuff off the carpet stuck to the floor board ... went thru it in my '61. You just have to suck it up and scrape the snot out of everything. I use NO glue in my '61 when installing carpet not even one eyedropper's worth - not necessary whatsoever!
