[TR] Removing carpet glue

[Brad Kahler]

Doug, thanks for the lead.  I didn't run across Klean Strip when googling
for carpet glue removal.  Didn't think about searching for adhesive
removal!

Looks like my local Lowes has it in stock so I'll give it a try.  Be
interesting to see what it does to paint.

Thanks,

Brad
