How to remove glue/adhesive?

The previous owners glued the baseboards to the walls instead of using nails. How do I remove the glue so I can paint the walls and put on new baseboards? It's either carpenters glue or carpenters adhesive.How to remove glue/adhesive?
Its probably wood adhesive. Use a scraper. The new baseboard should hide the marks, if it doesn't you'll have to fill and patch before you paint.How to remove glue/adhesive?
knowing which ingredient it is would be helpful, start with vinegar, if that doesn't loosen it, try oops, then paint thinner or stripper. Good luck! Why can't you just repaint or re-stain the trim?
Try Goof Off, that stuff removes anything!! Good luck! Question, why on earth would someone glue the baseboards?
