Showerthought: I was wrong about that old glue-down vinyl in a Phoenix kitchen
I was pulling up this nasty 80s sheet vinyl, thinking the slab underneath would be clean, but the mastic was still sticky like tar after all these years. I tried scraping for an hour, then remembered a guy at the supply house saying to use a specific citrus-based remover, so I got some and it came up like butter. What's your go-to trick for a really stubborn old adhesive?

Why bother with special products? A scraper and some elbow grease always works for me.

Elbow grease" sounds great until you're as clumsy as me, james_clark. I'd probably take a chunk out of the wall with a scraper. A little help from a product saves my drywall from my own two hands.
