Coarse Grit
Removing tile adhesive from a hardwood floor?
I'm looking for some quick, inexpensive ways to remove black tile adhesive from 180-200 sqaure feet of hardwood floor in our living room.
I was planning to work on small sections at a time if possible, because I work full-time and will most likely have to attempt this restoration while my 14-month-old is at home with me.
It has occurred to us that we may have to empty the room and sand it off with coarse grit sandpaper and refinish the floor, but I was really hoping to just clean it.
Your best bet is to sand as you thought. Unfortunately cleaning with any type of solvents can do more harm and frustration than to just sand. One problem is the absorbing of the solvent into the wood causing, swelling of joints, discoloration and a huge mess that will take longer than it would to rent a sander that will do the area in less than an hour. Not only is it the right way to remove the adhesive but it will end up looking like a new floor as opposed to a dingy and muted looking hardwood from wear and the solvent cleaning. If you have black tile adhesive that is old cutback adhesive which is very similar to tar and mineral spirits or paint thinner will remove it but it will just bleed excess glue and solvent into cracks and you'll need about 30 rolls of paper towels. Best of luck on your decision.
