Found a trick for getting glue dots off concrete floors

Used to spend 20 minutes scraping each glue dot with a razor after a job. Last week I tried spraying them with aerosol freeze spray first, and they popped right off with a putty knife in about 5 seconds each. Anyone else use something weird to speed this up?

You tried the freeze spray on concrete? I'd be worried about the concrete getting too cold and cracking. Does it leave any residue behind? I usually just soak glue dots in hot water for a minute and they peel off pretty easy. That freeze trick sounds like it could work on small spots though.

Hot water on concrete? Good luck with that. The freeze spray works great and concrete doesn't crack unless you're dumping a whole can on one spot. Five seconds and done. Razor blades are for people who hate their knees.
