removing carpet
i just finished pulling out my old carpet. in certain spots, the padding that was under the carpet was glued to the floor. i've tried scraping the padding/glue off with various tools, but it won't come off. anyone have any time on how to remove this stuff?

it takes alot of time, mine came off perfectly after awhile.
Use a knife and peel the black glue stuff off. The remaining stuff I just sanded off and repainted

I just ripped off as much as I could without too much effort. Then put the new carpet right over it. It won't make any difference at all if some is left on there.
