How to get rid of tar from wooden flooring?

[patty]

I've been using costic soda to get rid of this tar like substance from my wooden floorboards - it's a tiring task though and takes ages to come off and expensive i've used lots of tins of the ostic soda and its expensive. Is there a cheaper alternative to remove this unwanted tar/glue? My gues is that tiles have been down and this is the glue that was used and its a nightmare to remove.


Thanks for answering.

Back when I used to shoot up, i made sure i never dropped any on my wooden floors while it was cooking in a spoon. I got one of those wall scrapers like for gum and scraped it off the floor and it worked and dont worry its reusabke once it gets heated up

use a glue solvent
at most paint stores

Heavy duty sander! May gum up though due to heat from friction on tar/glue

How about a hot iron, with a piece of absorbent cloth underneath?
