    Removing old flooring glue from concrete

    I would recomend renting a 17" floor buffer and a Hex-pin grinding wheel. Around here they go for about $120.00 a day for the set. I think that would work perfect for you. The rental store I used to work for carried a wheel mad by Pearl Abrasives.Hope this helps John
