Re: removing carpet glue

Strip-eze or Toluene should work, just have to let it soak in, be patient. You'll also want to scuff up the aluminum before painting with scotch-brite pads or something similiar.

Put a wire cup brush on a 4" angle grinder, worked like a charm for me.

Ayuh,... I Agree,...
Just be Careful, you can go from no glue, to a Hole rather quickly on an aluminum barge...
