Purchased 4 gallons. The only thing this helped with was making my old adhesive shiny and slippery.. After 8 hours I have an oily, slippery mess and still breaking my back scraping. Does not work like the video at all! Very disappointed and frustrated.
I have carpet that's been down in my parents house for over 20 years over tile floor. Should this easily get it up. I'm 69 years old it needs to go away
What is the best best way to remove carpet glue with hardwood floors with your product. Currently in using 747 and let sit for 1 hour per instructions. Wondering if product needs to sit longer to have better penatration for removing carpet glue.
It depends on the wood.. it probably won’t hurt fir, but I don’t think I would do it with oak or maple.. it can definitely cause cupping. If the adhesive is really hard, I grind it off with my edger and 12 grit disks.. it’s miserable work, be patient.. That orange citrus stuff works ok too. Not toxic at all..Just do 4’X4’ sections and be patient.
Is Sentinel 626 able to remove adhesive that was used in the mid-1970s to bond vinyl flooring to concrete slabs? To be clear, the vinyl flooring has already been removed. A fine layer of glue remains firmly attached to the concrete and needs to be removed. The glue is extremely durable. If another product is more suitable to remove the glue, please let me know. Your advice is appreciated.
@@bryanbahling2877 Progress on my floor has been put on hold because the overall home will undergo a bigger renovation. I temporarily put cheap carpet over the concrete which still has the adhesive described in my earlier post. I still think about how I'll eventually need to remove the adhesive. I believe the way I'll approach it is to tape plastic painter's tarps on the lower portion of the walls, then wet the floors and use a grinder attached to a shop vac. This will likely be messy since centrifugal force will push water away, but much of the water should still get sucked into the vacuum. The reason I'll wet the floor is to minimize airborne dust from grinding the glue off the concrete. Alternatively, later I may also do research to figure out of any chemicals can break down the glue without damaging the concrete. For example, could acid be used without damaging concrete. I don't know if that might etch the concrete. On the other hand,, if it does, it might not matter if later I plan on having the concrete leveled before a new floor is installed over the concrete. Sounds like you may be targeting completion of your project much sooner than mine. Whatever solution you come up with, I would greatly appreciate if you could reply back with details on your approach to the common problem with both share.
@@RedondoBeach2 thank you for your response. I just started sentinel 747 on a 150 foot area of my basement after the asbestos tile was professionally removed. (Mastic tested negative) and it may have been the biggest mistake of my life. It turns to a tar goo that looks amazingly easy in the videos on TH-cam but in reality I have spent hours scraping and it just becomes a gooyier mess the more I scrape it around. I'm almost in tears. I feel like pushing a lawsuit against this fu***** company. My back is destroyed and I've gotten nowhere. The mess seems to be getting worse. I have no answers.
@@bryanbahling2877 I was not familiar with Sentinel 747 until you mentioned it. I finished watching the linked TH-cam video (titled: Sentinel 747 Fresh Scent Mastic Remover) about the product a minute ago. In the second half of the video the narrator mentions and demonstrates a second product (Sentinel 805) that appears to be used to clean up the Sentinel 747. Have a look at the video. I believe it may resolve the problem you're describing. In any case, I'm absolutely interested in hearing more about how you proceed and results. I empathize with you regarding the physical pain this is causing you. I also had physical pain after removing the vinyl backing. The effort took me 6 weeks of working 12 hour days. As a result of kneeling and bending the way I needed to, I slowly sprained my ankle. So, here's the video link. Truly would like to stay in touch to hear back on your progress. Considering the stress this has caused you so far, I recommend stepping away from the project for at least 1 or 2 days. Get some rest and come back reenergized. th-cam.com/video/ApGgr22z6RE/w-d-xo.html
Seriously...does it really work as easily as it’s shown to remove the adhesive? If so, how about on older flooring? I’m guessing the flooring was installed 15 or so years ago.
No it does not. I had glue down vinyl floors and I used this today and it didn’t get any off. Just made a damn mess. It’s so oily I busted my ass 6 hours later

Which product can you use for hardwood floors?
Donde consigo Sentinel en México???

FYI, This will eat the glue off of the rubber soles of your boots in some cases.
Is that a roach at 5 minutes on the floor by the backwall
You're worrying about the damned wrooooong thing.

Fantastic!

626 is the preferred product to remove carpet adhesive. 747+ mixed 1 to 1 with hot water will help soften the carpet glue.
@@sentinelproductsinc.1666 If it has to sit will it harm the hardwoods?

Yes, this stuff works….
Stitch will be disappointed
🤣🤣🤣 I keep thinking about Stitch 626
If only the glue peeled up that easy...
Right!!!

Works really good
It didn’t work well for me at all unfortunately.
No it does not. I had glue down vinyl floors and I used this today and it didn’t get any off. Just made a damn mess. It’s so oily I busted my ass 6 hours later
Definitely does not work like the video
What’s the difference between 626 and 747
626 is formulated to remove latex, acrylic and water based adhesives. 747+ is designed to remove oil based vinyl tile adhesives.

Would this product work to remove the adhesive used to glue carpet to a fiberglass boat?
Wasted $150 on 4 gallons . Didn’t work
Definitely not what the directions on the container says, made a huge mess today and actually made the glue stickier! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
Does this work on vinyl tile?
No, 747+ will clean vinyl tile adhesive.

What a mess.. I do this for a living and I’d rather cut the carpet in 12” strips and rip it by hand than go through all of this
excelent video..pero in argentina te sale un fangotee de plata ajjajaj
we did not need to see bugs crawling
Lloyd Cornelius did the bugs like the 626?
It was just a cricket...
It does not work. I made a mess today with this crap. I’m going to Home Depot tomorrow to see if I can return this crap
Sentinel 626 is not sold at Home Depot
they do sell.. I bought mine there
@@annmor348 it's not sold at Home Depot. Our product 747+ is sold there.
doesnt work as well as claimed
