I have a commercial job tomorrow.
anyone have any ideas on the best way to remove around 400 sq ft of adhesive from 2 way tape??? It's everywhere. It's glue down commercial carpet I would normally use a little POG or solvent but that area is toooooooo big it will kill the CGD.
I have some chemspec paste...has anyone ever come accross this kind of problem????
I don't want this problem to become my problem

Steamer;
yep, that's a real headache for sure.
Could you pre-spray the specific areas and then use a standard rotary scrubber to provide you the mechanical action required?
If not...................
Walmart has an opening as a Greeter!

WD40. Buy a gallon, apply with a trigger sprayer. Agitate with a brush or rotary before extraction.
You can also buy citrus gel in gallons and use that if you prefer

Yup. Use the liquid, not the aerosol. Way more economical
