You could try steaming. Failing that start patch testing solvents such as white spirit.

Good luck :thumbsup:

Hire a floor tile stripper from HSS. About £50 for the day

Yes Yes Yes
I got the carpet up with a wallpaper steamer.
Long job but done at last

I also hired the tile stripper from HSS, but should have done the steam part first.
