I had a small spray bottle of this some years ago. When I moved the bathroom floor had a carpet which I removed. Could not find anything to desolve the glue that had been used to lay the carpet. Found my small bottle and tried it. Really works. Even had contractor say nothing would desolve the glue wihtout ruining the floor tile. Well, floor looks great. I bought the 33oz bottle from Amazon as the local stores did not have it. Then I told the local hardware store. After trying it out themselves they now carry it in the store. Works great and smells good too.

Orange Sol 10022 12Oz Contractor Solvent

After pulling up a vinyl floor the concrete sub-floor was covered with an ancient thick black tar-like adhesive. The old school hardware stores offered me the most insanely poisonous cancer causing chemicals to try and remove it. I refused these and started working every other less deadly option to try and remove the gunk in preparation for tiling. The gunk defeated everything and power tools made hardly a dent. I was considering buying a $400.00 professional resurfacing tool until I tried de-solv-it. This stuff destroyed the old adhesive, making it easy to scrape off and leaving no residue. Resulted in a perfect surface for thinsetting. Smells great and you don't need a mask or gloves. Incredible.

This is the most amazing stuff. It takes off just about anything. Grease, paint, adhesive, you name it.
And it smells great.
I reach for it time and time again.

I had great hopes for this solution when I read the glowing reviews and the title "Contract" on the label. However, I was trying to get off paint (been on for years) from the hinges of an old Army trunk, valuable to me for sentimental purposes.

This solution was my last resort, and it did not work as well as the five others I had tried. I finally ditched the trunk as I had spent too many hours trying to restore it and NOTHING worked, including this solvent.

I thought I had RUINED an expensive pair of slacks when I accidentally knelt in tile glue. Not even super glue remover worked, but this did and left my pants looking like new. Phenomenal product!

after looking all over for this product, I decided to go to the internet and check to be sure this was still being formulated and sold on the retail market. thanks to Amazon it had what I had been looking for and couldn't find.

I practically go into withdrawal when I cannot find this product, excellent for cleaning not only sticky gummy products from the dashboard of the car (where DOES that stuff come from?), mandrels used in making hot-glass beads, left-over sticky price-tag residue, left-over gummy residue on the windshield when removing inspection stickers, or anything else of a similar nature. Spray it on, wait a few minutes, and wipe it off with a clean damp rag. Perfect.
