Max Strip Floor Adhesive Remover 1 Gallon

Worked really well to break up the linoleum floor glue in my basement but you still want the right floor scraper to get it done as best as possible. I ended up using a 4" thin blade scrapper and made all the difference compared to the 8" I was using before.The stuff is low odor out of the container but be warned once applied to the glue, the odor is significant and it filled the house for a couple of days. May be the glue breaking up or the chemical reaction between the solvent and glue but it was intense. Still I'd use it again in a heart beat because without I'd still be scraping the basement floor.

Does not work ANYWHERE NEAR as described. Starting chore of removing vinyl flooring. Paper backing and adhesive remains. Chose two sections, one with this product another using Klean Strip. Max Strip claims 1/2 hr, longer if stubborn adhesive. No luck after 1/2 hr. Left overnight. 18 hrs later, still no luck!! Klean Strip claims 15 min. Tried after 15-20 min. Paper and adhesive came right up,!! Applied to area treated with Max Strip, 15 min later Klean Strip came right off, no problem. Very disappointed. Thought it would work. Big time let-down.

I used this product to remove some adhesive left over on the concrete from old vinyl planks. I applied it with a paint brush, as recommended on the container, and it went on really easily. I left the product on for about 2 hours and the adhesive scraped right off. The only downside is I purchased this product specifically for the low odor formula this company advertises, but the odor is pretty strong. So strong I had to open all of my windows and run a couple of box fans. Maybe it isn’t as strong as other removers (I’ve never used any others) but it is still pretty strong. If you are going to use this indoors and are sensitive to smells or have dogs or children, just be aware that it emits a pretty strong odor. Other than that, it works really well and I think it is worth the money.

Worked great on my hardwood floors. The glue was quite old and some spots came up easier than others. I suggest a heavy-duty scraper.

I have a basement cement floor that has black mastic from late 1970’s troweled over the entire floor. Around the perimeter there is approx 2 ft band of modern yellow colored floor glue that had the carpet pad I just removed glued down. The mastic was from the original vinyl/lenoleum flooring that was removed at some point before the yellow glue was used to glue down carpet pad. I have done about 10x15 ft area so far and it’s working good. I coated the area and tarped for 1.5 hours and could scrape off all the mastic and all but about 10% of the yellow glue (where it was thicker) which I will do on a second round. It’s working better than I hoped. Having a good scraper helps. I mopped with hot water for cleanup but I think I may use shop vac I going forward. This stuff has an odor but it’s not bad and I had no issues with breathing or eyes watering etc. I’d give it an A+ at removing the black mastic and an A at removing the yellow floor glue. I wish I only had mastic to remove as the yellow glue has carpet pad stuck to it which is probably why that’s harder to get off in one round.
