How do you remove liquid nail from a vinyl surface?

Answer 1

Scrape it as clean as possible and spray it with WD40 and let it soak. Several applications will be needed depending on how long the adhesive has been there. Additionally, acetone can be used to remove residue after it's scraped.

Answer 2

This answer comes from the manufacturer of Liquid Nail products:

If you cannot cut the adhesive out of the carpet, then I would suggest using gentle heat from a hair dryer to soften the dried adhesive. Once it's softened, use a toothbrush to brush the softened adhesive from the outside of the "glob" into the center. Then pick off as much as you can. Continue the gentle heat, scraping into the center, picking off what you can. Once you have the "globs" off, you can try mineral spirits or paint thinner on a clean, white rag (don't pour it directly onto the carpet) and pinch the adhesive residue with the rag and lift up so you don't spread it out even more.

BEFORE YOU TRY MINERAL SPIRITS ON YOUR CARPET, PLEASE TEST ON AN INCONSPICUOUS AREA (like in a closet) to be sure the mineral spirits/paint thinner will not discolor the carpet.

Answer 3

Per the FAQ list at LiquidNails.com:

In general, LIQUID NAILS adhesives & caulks can be scraped off when they are softened either by: # Heating above 140°F with an electric heat gun or blow dryer. # Coating the adhesive with petroleum jelly or mineral spirits for several hours to several days. (Note that mineral spirits are not recommended for tub surrounds, vinyl, plastic, painted or varnished.)
