I am renovating a staircase and have removed the carpet and am scraping off old glue. The problem is that I need to have flat steps when I apply the new material. At the front edge of each step, there is a raised edge. It is 3mm high and 10mm wide.
What is the smoothest and best way to remove this edge?
Question #2: I have scraped off most of the glue, but there is a layer left that is against the wood. Is there any product that can dissolve this? Or is sanding necessary? I can say that the glue turns into a very fine powder when you scrape it.

Personally, I would have used the router with a straight bit with a bearing on it (edge router maybe it's called). Then run it as far as it would go and do the last 7-8cm on each side with either the saw or the sander.
Regarding the glue, regular glue wash should dissolve it. It usually has really good pull in it.
