There is an easy to use adhesive stripper from Home Depot. I forget the name, but it comes in a 1 gallon can and is a semi gel consistency. You need some thin plastic sheeting ( 4mil )

You spread the stripper out with a plastering trowel and cover with the plastic as you go.
This prevents evaporation and produces maximum results.

After it has set for 20-30 minutes, you pull up the plastic and use a wide, flat blade scraper to get it all off. You need an old dust pan and a plastic lined bucket.

It's very messy, smells hideous ( wear a respirator ) and is slippery, so don't fall into it.
It is very caustic, so wear gloves and rain boots, too.

After you have scraped up most of it, use a commercial mop and wringer bucket.
You'll need to go over it a few times to neutralize.


The other option is to rent a 'shot blaster' instead.
