Do I need to remove carpet glue? Most is worn off, what remains is adhered well to the concrete

I aslo had this problem in one room and just put it over the glue, it took more paint and the coating had worn quicker than the other room that I rented a sander and removed the glue. Cost of sander rental was about 50 bucks. The only good thing about leaving the glue was even wet it was not slick but hard to sweep up the floor. I would never do it over glue again.

remove the carpet attachment with the screwdriver and replace it with the bare floor tool. you will be able to tell which part to remove, it looks similar to the replacement part.

Probably so. I would be careful as if you glue carpet over and then later peeled it up it might pull off water seal as well. I used it for waterproofing concrete backer board in our shower - worked great for that!

How porous is the concrete? I feel like the sealer may be too far inside the concrete to remove it...

Odormute makes a HUGE amount of liquid product. Mix it up according to the directions on the box, pour it liberally on the concrete, and cover it with plastic for 4 hours so the enzymes can work a good amount of time. Then take the plastic off and let it dry (or put a fan on to speed it up). It will still stink until the concrete is totally dry, and then the smell will be gone like magic. It's truly amazing. DON'T clean the concrete with other products first, because then the enzymes might not work. If there is a lot of uric acid crystals from a truly horrendous buildup, go ahead and mop that off with plain water before treating it.

No glue needed ... Get a rubber alley and pound it a little ... It comes back

A clean substrait is extremely important for a good outcome using this product. My advice is to start with a clean surface. Strip away the old material. Also a rubberized seal coating will also extend the life of the peel and stick.

Full the sticker off. What remains can be scraped with a razor and washed with a little alcohol to remove the glue residue.

Putty knife and a hammer would work great. Just put the putty knife between the concrete and plastic and hammer it in to remove the adhesive.

i'm not sure what its made of, but this would really work. be very careful when you use it not to get it on any hardwood floor, use something thick lile a magazine under the area you are working on. also, i have heard that if you use a little vasoline on the tip of the glue nozzel, that it will keep those strings of glue from coming out and bugging you. i would definitely try this glue for this. i have used it for fraying many times. i try not to use alot of glue so it doesnt show. cut off the smallest amount on the tip so it comes out slowly and put the glue over the frayed area. wait until it dries and then trim off any small strings. the area that you glue will be a little darker and stiffer, but its better than having your rug unravel. there is also a product called fray check, that is used in sewing, but its thinner and might not work for a thick area like a carpet. if it just the serger threads you want to fix, you might try it first. it will dry a little darker and be a little stiff also. i hope this helps. if you go with the fabric tac, use gloves to protect your manicure. try it on a small area first. i love this glue and use it for many things.

Not sure. I know it's good on glue left after removing price stickers and labels from bottles or containers. The glue used to affix carpet to an underlayment of tiles might be a different proposition. Give it a try, let it sit for 10-15 minutes and see if it loosens/softens the glue and try gently scraping off the residue with a retractable razor blade scraper. Be careful not to damage your tiles if you plan on keeping them in use. Good luck. Also, try just scraping the dried glue without using any Goo Gone to see if that works before you apply the Goo Gone to your floor -- maybe try a little of both methods to see which works better.

I would consult the mfg. of the flooring to make sure it will not cause the adhesive of the floor to release.

The carpet has not been wet since the stain was removed, so I can't advise you on this.

I put them on concrete in my garage...low traffic area...and have not needed any adhesive. Double sided carpet tape would work. Depends what they are going on to

I would use double sided carpet tape instead of glue. No drying time, instant results, no mess.

GG usually does remove old glue/decal residue, but I believe your glue may have hardened over the years. Keep rubbing with GG for 5 minutes as hard as you can. If nothing, then it probably won't work. You'll need to scrape it off with a metal scraper & maybe a razor for the last small bits remaining. Careful if you don't wanna scratch your tiles.
