Hi Everyone
I'm just refreshing a kitchen and stripped it all back to find glued on lino flooring. Has taken a long while to manually scrape this stuff off and now I am left with bare concrete but there is a sheen of residual glue from the old lino. You could not scrape the glue layer off, it's so thin and transparent, but the surface is a little tacky.
I remember a similar problem in the bathroom where I tiled directly onto this thin glue and the tile adhesive appeared to wet the glue and it mixed into the tile adhesive causing it not to set very well.
I have read a few folk advising PVAing the surface neat. Is that then good to go for BAL rapidset floor adhesive for ceramic floor tiles?
Advice appreciated, hoping to do this tomorrow ...
Cheers guys
