Redoing bathroom floors and under the tiles there was really old carpet. I was able to remove the upper layer of it, but there is a tar-like substance stuck on the wooden floor that is very difficult to remove. Are there any tricks or chemicals that can be used to easily peel this away and leave the wood intact?

Best Answer
I just wet it with soap and hot water, maybe a few times over the course of a half hour, and then use a wallpaper scraper.
