Need help ! Home renovation

I'm tearing up some carpet for a friend in a older house . Under the carpet was some of the old asbestos tile or at least that's what it appears to be. . Once the tile is gone it leaves the black glue adhesive on the concrete . Does anybody know how to get this shite off ?

go to rental store, rent surface grinder with abrasive blocks or diamond set up..

Not sure of what it is called but there is something that is like a gel that will remove anything. Will try to find out tomorrow. Do not get it on skin...trust me on that. I slipped and butt was on ground 5 seconds...I was trying to shed clothes at 10. I'll find the name but be careful with it

why grind, you could apply a thin layer of thin set to level it.

What type of floor are you putting back?

First off, what are your plans? New carpet?
It is best to leave the old flooring in place. Just resurface that floor with 1/8" plywood. Inbetween the old flooring and plywood, put down some plastic. If it is asbestos, by pulling it up, you will spread it thru out the house. Not good. Leave it alone or pay big money to have it removed.
My brother has been in the flooring biz for over 40 years and he will NOT pull up asbestos flooring. You can buy a test kit or send a sample out to a lab.
Just do the plywood/plastic and be done with it.
