*This Heavy Duty Citrus Solvent is not recommended for use on butyl and styrene. This product may not be compatible with all fabric and carpeting. See cautions below.
To remove floor adhesive:
1. Apply (pour or spray) one coat coverage: 200 – 250 Sq. Ft. per gallon (approximately).
2. Remove liquefied adhesive with wet/dry vac, silica sand, cat litter or shovel/scraper.
3. Dispose of according to regulations.
4. Wash concrete thoroughly with degreaser floor wash and rinse before reapplying adhesive.
IMPORTANT: Some darker floor adhesives such as cutback mastics will start to liquefy immediately.
Some of the lighter, yellow/white latex adhesives may take 20 minutes to 2 hrs to show signs of softening. you may want to test a small area by keeping it consistently moist to better gauge the bond-breaking point of the older adhesive before applying this product to a larger area.
Once this softening time-frame is determined, you can decide how large of an area at one time you would like to manage with more product.
