How to use a floor scraper |

 |
When using a floor scraper, you should hold it like you would a long-handled broom or rake. | |||
 |
By running it along the surface of the floor with some force, the floor scraper will separate whatever you are trying to remove from the floor’s surface. | |||
 |
You should hold the floor scraper at a 15-30° angle to the ground as you scrape. | |||
 |
Keep an eye on the sharpness of the blade, and change it once the edge of the blade becomes dull (See: ) | |||
 |
Sometimes, the use of a heat gun can help to soften stubborn glue, making it pliable and easier to loosen from the surface of the floor.
If you do not have a heat gun, you can apply a solution of washing up liquid and warm water to the adhesive instead. |
