An adhesive, or glue, is a mixture in a liquid or semi-liquid state that adheres or bonds items together. Adhesives may come from either natural or synthetic sources. Some modern adhesives are extremely strong, and are becoming increasingly important in modern construction and industry. The types of materials that can be bonded using adhesives are virtually limitless, but they are especially useful for bonding thin materials. Adhesives usually require a controlled temperature to cure or set. They can be electrically and thermally conductive or non-conductive. The earliest date for a simple glue is 200,000 BC and for a compound glue 70,000 BC.

Making sure to screw it down as recommended ( about every 4-6 inches) then you can use mortar and set your slate. If your subfloor is concrete, Then you should remove all of the adhesive. You may need to see about some stronger adhesive remover or re-apply what you have. Once you have the adhesive removed, then you should wash the concrete with muratic acid and water -- about ten parts water and one part acid. Always add the one part acid to the water not the water to the acid - water added to acid will cause a cloud o gas that is harmful to breath. Again if the subfloor is concrete and you can not get the adhesive off using… [cont.]

How can I remove adhesive glue from the inside of some shoes?
Q. I had a pair of shoes that were loose in the heels so I put some of those adhesive heel pads in to tighten them up. But, I decided to take them out later because they were too tight. I got the pads out but there is still glue there. Does anyone know how to remove it? The inside of the shoes are sort of a suede fabric.
