Any advice on the best way to remove the carpet pad tape from concrete floor? I would like to paint and seal the floor but must get the tape and paint drops/overspray off first. Thanks!

Try mineral spirits. Let soak a few minutes then scrape.

Heat gun and scrape for major tape stuff. Wire brush for what's left. Wire brush can be electric. See Home Depot for rental equipment if area is extensive. My feeling is mineral spirits will be absorbed by the concrete and would compromise the coating.

You didn't say how much you have to remove.

A reminder to etch the concrete before painting.

If this is just the double sided carpet tape the mineral spirits will release it. Just wet a couple inches of the end. Wait about 1 minute, lift the end , then pull up entire strip.

Yup. Here's one of my widgets.
