Remnants of Lino flooring

[davphi338]

Hi,

I've lifted some old lino flooring and it has left a foam backing on certain areas of the floor. I have scrapped off as much as possible but there is still some sort of layer that just won't budge. The floor is concreete screed and I am having porcelain tiles fitted with PCI rapidflex adhesive. Is there a product that might remove all remnants of the lino flooring or could I seal the floor with PVA or similar.

Thanks for any advice

read this before you think about using pva-

you can purchase a latex primer,that would probably be your best option

Thanks for the reply. Looks like I need some decent primer rather than PVA. Can someone recommend a suitable primer for applying on top of the remnants of the lino floor.

Thanks
