I will be removing two layers of vinyl flooring (Tile over Sheet) originally installed about 1975. I will be replacing them with one layer of resilient tiles.
What do I do with the existing mastic (adhesive residue) thAt will surly be left on the concrete slab?
How do I prepare the floor before applying the new Resilient tiles?
be carefull about asbestos encapsulated in the old lino. Get it tested if your not sure.
I would lay new 1/4 ply over the 2 layers and start there.
Asbestos is a nasty thing…..
