After you pull up your carpet, how do you remove the old, hardened glue that sticks to the hull?

I used about a 4" razor blade scraper from the flooring dept. at your local home improvement store. Works good just be careful not to gouge the surface.

Re: Old carpet glue

the PO used Liquid nails to hold down the old carpet. I was thinking of using the scraper like dadgum said
