Help Removing Glue from Slab

Pulled up ~600sqft of glue down vinyl from concrete slap. Remaining adhesive is extremely tough to remove, but also sticky which rules out sanding or priming over for self-leveller. Looking for suggestions for removing it. So far using handheld floow scrapers is getting me virtually nowhere. Tool rental told me don't even bother with a floor scraper, that they're only useful for dry/hard adhesive. Considering either: - buying a grinder with a cup wheel and trying to scrape it off with that. Would this be viable? What specific attatchement would be best? - using a heat gun or torch paired with scraping to melt/soften the adhesive. Any advice is greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/False_Watercress_711 [link] [comments]
