Cleaning up Adhesive
Hi, what would be the best thing to use to clean up spray adhesive that's on my machine and floor? Just soap and water?

Re: Cleaning up Adhesive
Spray tacks are very gummy and not easy to remove. I use solvents. This video may help:

This one is about lubricating the press:

As for the floor it depends on what it is. Concrete can take solvents and then a soap and water wash. Other surfaces may need to be steamed or scrubbed with detergents and very hot water.

Re: Cleaning up Adhesive
My pleasure
On painted concrete I would try a very hot soapy water wash. With the amount of soap and water you can use on the floor it should loosen up after a bit of agitation and then some rags should wipe up all the wet lint and glue blobs.
