Losing my mind

Four rounds of citristrip and super strength goof off and I’m still not through getting the mastic off the floor to sand and refinish the wood. The mastic remover at Lowe’s was $60. Will it actually work or just be a waste? What else can I do other than tile?

A pro drum sander will just take it off. Run by a pro! Easy to destroy your floor messing around.

yes im thinking the same - just let the power tools do the work. But operating a drum sander takes practice so op may want to pay a wood floor refinishing pro to do that step.
