hi
i have a load of parquet flooring that we are going to do two rooms with
the backs have been heated and scraped and most of the bitumen removed to a smooth layer of it left on the back.
the sides and top have not been cleaned.
my questions are
do i need to remove all the bitumen off the backs or will it be ok as long as they are all smooth and the lumps removed?
do i need to clean the sides and if so how, as i dont want to wear the sides such that there are gaps when they are laid?
can i just leave the tops till i sand the lot down when they are all laid?
what adhesive should i use, given they were set in bitumen before? the floors are concrete, old or with new levelling compound poured on them
thanks very much for any help
regards
