Hello everyone, I've searched for this topic but cannot find it listed. My home has astroturf covering the concrete exterior stairs. It's probably about twenty years old. It's not in terrible shape, but for appearance sake, I would like to remove it. I've heard horror stories about the adhesive underneath. Does anyone have a good way to remove the carpet and adhesive? I haven't touched it yet. Heat gun perhaps?

Thanks!
A

These adhesives often require a scraper and elbow grease, too.
