glue on stair. how do i remove it so I can paint
 

Hi I have steps that had glued on carpet. I have been trying to remove the glue. I tried all kinds of chem but no luck. I did get a grinding wheel but its making a real mess.

You could try solvents of different types until you find one that works, this one makes the claim that it will work.
