Removing Glue/Adhesives - Chemical Experiment to Help U Out

Thank you. Your hard work should be rewarded with making this post a Sticky!

Loved the way you went through many of the options that we have...now most of us do not have to experiment on our own.

I broke down your methods into two piles ...chemical and abrasive. While the abrasives (sanding/disks etc.) all remove the material, they tend to load up and have to be either cleaned or replaced on a larger job. The chemical processes just get scraped and discarded.

Looks like brush cleaner is an excellent choice and one that I would not have given a chance without your fine research.

Thanks very much..... richg99

Thanks Rich,

I really appreciate the feedback and gratitude. Brush cleaner and Jasco's are still my go to's and favorites. You could even try aircraft remover from Rustoleum. That stuff will destroy through anything. I used it A LOT for removing the paint on my boat.

I found 180 grit on a belt sander to be the most effective method of removing old glue.
