How to remove no more nails

Question

I used no more nails to fix some trim and now I need to remove it. What actually works to get rid of it without wrecking the wall underneath? It's solid now

Mark · Answer

Take you time using a sharp chisel or a sharp edged long flat scraper. Keeping the blade flat as poss to the wall slowly push into the adhesive  and scrape away slowly. It may lift parts of the wall  but can easily be repaired with sone easy fill or another filler back a to a flat surface.  Sand and fill again if needed, then re paint to a suitable finish.  Good luck ..   Mark P

If you have access to a heat gun then very gently and slowly heat the area t which should make the adhesive soft again, whilst still soft you can carefully scrape off with a putty knife

A hair dryer may work too but will take longer but not a recommended way for large areas

If it’s on brickwork then I’d use some mechanical sanding

Try a steamer to soften it, then use a scaper, as it’s set hard you need to soften it, if you haven’t got a steamer ? Use a sponge with hot water.apart from that heat the scraper up with flames and scrape it off

soften it using a heat gun or by soaking with white spirit. Once soft, scrape it off with a scraper should get it off
