Hi,

I removed the carpet from my '67 C10 and all the adhesive stayed glued to the floor. What's the best way to remove this stuff?

Thanks
Tom

3m make a adhesive remover and if you have good ventilation laquer thinner works great

you can get most of the bigger patches with a heat gun and putty knife avoid breathing the fumes// then finish it off with laquer thinner
