    Removing Hardset Tile Mastic from Concrete Floor



    I need to remove a hardset ( not glue type) mastic from a large area of concrete floor.
    The mastic is almost as hard as the concrete and must be ground down in order to lay carpet.
    I am currently using a floor belt sander with hardest grade paper.
    It's moving at just about a snails pace.
    Is there a beter tool or a surface prep that might reduce labor time.

    Maybe try an electric floor scrapper. They're available at rental centers.
