Amazing, thank you! This is so what I needed
Great video ! Thanks for recommendations; this is exactly what I was looking for!
Oscillating multi-tool is best. It heats up the glue through friction and then lifts it right up. Plus it can get right up against the stud flat.
Thanks for sharing!
I disagree. The oscillating multi-tool heats the glue and turns it into a sticky mess. I started off using that to remove construction adhesive from drywall…. from where the builder glued the bathroom mirror to the wall. I ended up using the painters-scraper (what she calls a multi-tool lol) and it was by far the best method.
Just the video I needed thank you!!! House built 40 years ago so hoping that doesn't make the job harder.
Our house was also built about 40 years ago - some spots were harder than others. I did sometimes switch between methods or combine methods depending on the thickness of the glue. Good luck with your project!
Thanks for the tips I have to try and remove a heap over the next few days, unfortunately I have no power at the house we are doing so was going to try chiseling or angle grinder with flap wheels
So you tore down to the studs, how did you get the drywall off of the studs when they were glued? did you just rip the drywall off or did you use a different method?
We simply pulled the drywall off. It was nailed and glued. In spots the paper would stick with some of the drywall, but not significant amounts and we could just pull it off with our hands. Good luck with your project!
Hi! How do I go about getting the remaining residue off wood? Its on my interior door lining which Im planning to paint
I tried a heat gun today but it just melted into the wood grain
I didn't have to get any of the residue off the wood since my goal was to drywall the studs again. I would have thought heat would be the best approach but since that didn't work, I would try a chemical solution. Good luck!
Oscillating tool is the best..$15 from harbor freight and then you find dozens of other uses for the oscillator !!
If you go to install your new drywall when the time comes you could add generous amount of glue to each stud where there is still bare wood and then you wouldn't even need to scrape it off the old stuff since it'll all be the same thickness at that point. It really wouldn't hurt anything
Thanks for sharing. Have you successfully done this? Or have resources you could share so I could learn more?
@@thecrunchyhouse I have done it before if you apply glue to the bare wood then when you apply the new drywall the new glue will compress and be the same thickness ass the old glue, to shouldn't have any issues. Now if you were doing a wall with paneling or maybe tongue and groove boards I'd definitely scrape that old stuff off. Some regions don't even glue drywall and it still holds up fine I will always glue ceilings but walls aren't as important but it can help with preventing screws from popping in the years to come
I don’t know if it would have made a difference, but it looks like you were using the wrong side of the chisel. The flat side of the chisel should have been visible and the angled side against the stud.
Mine has about 2 million brad nails trough out. Yes, someone installed the drywall with, construction adhesive, brad nails, nails and screws.
That sounds awful! I've never even heard of using brad nails for drywall. Good luck!!
Sounds thorough!
was thinking heat gun from get go
So using a multi tool or oscillating tool, with a “scraper blade” not a cutting blade, is the best and fastest way to remove construction adhesive from a doug fir stud. It does not cut into the wood and it’s fast and efficient: you’re welcome.
Using that heat gun on the glue, I would wear a respirator or have a fan blowing.
I just use a sander
I tried sanding too, just gummed up the paper - and quickly! What type of sander do you use?
@@thecrunchyhouse I used a orbital sander when it gums up I use a abrasive sanding stick \ rubber eraser.. Works for me hope it helps. Thanks for the videos.
No no no... Air hammer or demo hammer.
