how best to remove lino and vinal tiles

[Alan M]

hi there. i had an awfull job to do today. had to remove a laminated floor and underlay , then a layer of wet carpet underlay glued to the lino underneeth. lino glued to vinal tiles.
thank got lino is going back so the lino and vinal dont have to come up only patch it.
anyway iv got to put down a few tiles around the stove to bring the hearth out a bit farther (whole nother story) anyway whats the best way to get back to floor .
i presume it has to come up.
does all the vinal adhesive have tocome offf or will a bit matter


thanks in advance

I'd get as much up of the vinyl adhesive as pos, if your relaying lino a good slc will be needed.

sorrry meant to say there is normal tiles going down in a strip around the stove. the rest of the lino is to be left and covered again:mad2:.

As others have mentioned the quality of slc makes a lot of difference.
