Utility room has a concrete floor, part of which was/is covered with linoleum. Wife wants to replace it with, probably, some kind of linoleum type tiles.
Looking for a good way to removed the original glue and the bits of the linoleun backing that are stuck to it. Sanding is out because it might contain asbestos.
Glue is in swirls. I've read that boiling water may soften it and that krud Kutter would remove it. Acetone doesn't seem to do anything.
Any suggestions?
Alternatively, how smooth does the floor need to be if the new covering is to be some kind of linoleum? (It is a utility room after all...)
Thanks, Sam
