My lazy builder/painters oversprayed the whole perimeter of the room I want to glue down engineered wood to. What are/is the most efficient way to remove overspray? I have a floor scraper (on a 5' pole) but it doesn't work that great and takes a lot of work to get stuff up. I've read the concrete prep thread, but if there are any more tips/hints as to how to scrape up the floor, that would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Graeme

I ended up renting a random orbit sander and used 36grit sandpaper to sand off the paint... hope it works ok w/ the glue -- it seems to have polished the concrete a bit in places...
