We want to remove our tile flooring and expose the concrete. What is the best way (cheap) to get the black adhesive off the concrete?

The scraping is the most important. A floor installer's helper told me to just scrape it off with
the tool designed to do this, like a flat hoe/tile remover, but I haven't the muscle anymore, nor is the adhesive that thick. Mine is just like black paint
instead, and I will have to tackle it one day soon likely on my hands and knees. Let us know how whatever you use works, o.k.? : )

I have read that Krud Kutter's Adhesive Remover does a good job with this. You may still need to some scraping. I have found it at Walmart. I used it to remove carpet adhesive on wood flooring. DIY online message board users have recommended it for concrete. Hope this helps
