Will this work for glue that is still tacky? Guys laid LVP with VCT glue abs we need to get the glue up.

[@samuelr0]

It seems like glue has completely dried up. Will this machine work on glue in its sticky stage? I’m concerned with it clogging up the blades

[@topfloors]

You may have to use different bits. Even then they do need cleaned from time to time. I will see it I can get a pic for you of the ones you need.

It’s available for rent in homedepot or lowes?

[@correll26]

I spent hours using a single-disc EDCO grinder with a diamond wheel. These would have made the glue removal quicker before going back and grinding the floor. They are an accessory called Magna-Trap Strip-Sert.

[@topfloors]

Yup that’s what we used also. However those don’t always work. They certainly do not work on black mastic.

Would this machine also be appropriate for prepping the floor for epoxy?

[@topfloors]

I use it just for the glue removal. You can get different bits to grind the concrete. You have to create a physical bond for the epoxy to never pop off.

Do you have to have a strong arm to control the machine so that it doesn't get away from you? I just rented a single head one and it just flung all over the place put a hole in the wall and almost cut my toe off😢

[@topfloors]

No

[@PhilShenton]

What is the machine called if I need to call up and hire one from a shop?

[@topfloors]

Concrete grinder. Sorry for the late reply.

I got a job coming up concrete with adhesive had carpet Is there another way to remove adhesive without these fancy tools?

[@topfloors]

You can use chemicals, but it is very messy. Plus it cost a lot of money to use that method.

[@wickedwonderingdream]

Will it work on tacky pressure sensitive glue I got 22000 sq ft to get up

[@topfloors]

Yes it will. Sometimes you have to actually grind the concrete. It really depend on what you are installing over it.

[@Michael_78]

@@wickedwonderingdream yeah it depends on what you're installing over it. Sometimes you can get away with just skim coating over it with ardex.

[@lesp315]

Nice machine. Thanks for the tip.

[@deannajoy1618]

Is that sticky/tacky glue? Mine is!

[@topfloors]

Yes

[@krakenwoodfloorservicemcma5975]

EDCO makes great machines. I used to rent one but idiots kept breaking it.. so I bought a cutter for my buffer.. definitely not as good as the EDCO though.

[@Rumtree]

Awesome, just what I needed

Not a nice job even with big sanding discs on Thow a hover attachment would be even better on this machine would make the job more pleasant too work in instead off kicking up dust in the air
