all depends matey, is it powdered or tubbed

basically comes down to elbow grease and good tools lol

if big lumps of addy then bolster chisel if tubbed gear then a flat chisel does the trick etc, its all down to personal prefernce im afraid and try try try try again till you dont ******** the walls up when doing it

I usually use my angle grinder with diamond blade or a sharp floor scraper.

Is this wall or floor mate......?........

If its wall adhesive especially the bucket gear then a good soaking with water will soften it up. A labourer on a job i was on last week did this and came off easy.

Not if it's white star it won't........:lol: .........

But a steamstripper can help normal dispersion on walls and a good old floor scraper if floors..or just level over............

As Dave says a wall paper steamer has worked wonders on the 2 jobs I've used one but not sure if it works on all addys
