Reply to comment by [deleted] in Removing floor adhesive by Arkehn

Grinding would gum up and/or burn, and there's a lot to remove. Would have to rent a specialty scraping type machine. Would rather spend less and use some elbow grease.

Get a oscillating tool with a scraping blade onit, made for this.

You can rent or buy a floor scraper with a metal/carbide blade on it. It has a long handle like a shovel, with the flat blade on the end. It should suffice for taking that glue off the cement floor.

I have a floor scraper, but this stuff is just too thick and sticky. Can't get a blade under it unless it's razor sharp.
