∙ 11y agoUse an electric heat gun and paint scraper tool. Hold heat gun at an angle facing away from you and not to close to the floor board. You want to heat the glue to make it soft not burn it. Hold the scraper at an angle and slide it under the glue. Scrape off the glue from the scraper onto a piece of angle metal screwed to a scrap piece of wood board.
Do not overheat the glue, you may start a fire. Keep a fire extinguisher handy. Remember some floor boards have gaps which contain dust fluff and other flammable material.
Take care its a messy and hot job.
Don't be tempted to use an old blowlamp or gas burner with an open flame as its almost certain to start a fire.
