Rant: The glue trap in that Denver condo job was a nightmare
I was doing a glue-down carpet install in a high-rise condo off Speer Blvd last Tuesday and the concrete subfloor had this weird residue that wouldn't let the adhesive bond right. Had to scrape and prep for an extra 2 hours before I could even start rolling. Anyone else run into mystery residue on concrete slabs in older buildings?

Yeah I read a while back that some older condos in Denver used a weird sealer on the concrete that reacts badly with modern adhesives. Makes sense why you had to scrape for so long. Did you end up using a different primer to get it to stick?

Ugh that sounds like such a nightmare to deal with. Your neighbor must have been so frustrated after all that scraping and nothing working right. Hope they finally got it sorted out.
