When you say drywall adhesive, I presume you mean liquid nails or equivalent. Gasoline will desolve that type of glue, but I would hesitate to use it without plenty of ventilation. You can also try ';goof-off';, a cleaning product sold at Lowes or Home Depot.
This is zylene based and could mar certain types of tubs like fiberglass or acrylic if left on too long. Either way, exercise plenty of caution. Good luck!How do I get drywall adhesive off a whirlpool tub?
i would pour some mild/hot soapy water on it, and then rub it with a sponge.
then
take a very sharp razer blade and scrape away the adhesive very carfefully. instead of a pushing motion with the blade going into the adhesive, use a pulling motion, with the sharp end of teh blad away.
good luck
buy yourself a PLASTIC 2';-4'; putty knife and go at it.
I use this when i am done making a mess with plaster.
and for anyone who says it will scratch the tub ';they did it wrong';
I use a metal scraper and done it ever since i started 10 years ago.
there is a plastic like product you can paint and peel ';before'; one starts plastering
White vinegar will dissolve that stuff easily, soak a rag with it and just lay it over the globs, after about ten minutes you should be able to rub it off. Be very generous with the vinegar.
By adhesive I conclude you refer to sheetrock mud. Tap it lightly with a hammer, it should crumble. Then scrub the remainder with household cleaner and one of those kitchen sponges covered with mesh. Mud is brittle and does not adhere securely to a slick surface.
If it is drywall compound (mud) just rub it with plenty of warm water and a soft sponge. It will break down when wet. If it is an adhesive (liquid nails) then call the tub manufacturer pronto. DO NOT use any type of cleaning fluid without checking with the manufacturer first. Good luck. (ps: do not use a razor blade or abrasive cleaner - it will scratch the tub, especially if it is fiberglass!)
I used the product goof off. That stuff is amazing.
