Bitumen on Reclaimed Wood Block Flooring

Pipliko · 29 Dec 2007

I have source around 30m2 of reclaimed wood block flooring to lay on concrete floor however it still has the remains of the bitumen coating used from its initial installation.

Is there any adhesives available which can be laid thick enough to avoid the total removal of the bitumen?

If this is not possible is there an adhesive that will allow just the high spots of bitumen to be removed?

Failing this does anyone have any tips on how best to remove the bitumen?

Thank you in advance if anyone can help

Adhesive is adhesive, NOT a levelling compound. Plus bitumen residue will have a negative effect on the bonding time of the adhesive.

You'll have to remove as much bitumen as possible for the best results. So, lots of 'elbow-grease' at first.
