Remove 'bitumen' or not?

[Brad]

Afternoon all............

I am prepping a floor to take tiles. It is a screeded floor with ancient vinyl floor tiles that need to come up. Removing the old tiles reveals a black bitumen type adhesive. I have been informed that it is not a good idea to tile over this bitumen substance as the addy won't stick to it. Is this true? I would ideally prefer to avoid scraping the stuff off and just tile over it. Would a good rapid, flexi addy suffice? Any advice appreciated.:dozey:

A SBR/SPF adhesive slurry coat could be used

 

[Brad]

Could you expand? What is SBR/SPF adhesive? The only SBR I've come across is the Bal bond.

 

[Gazzer]

SBR is a primer like this Tradetiler Tilers Silicone and tools

Mix 50/50 and paint it over.

 

[Brad]

Then fix tiles as normal?

 

[Gazzer]

Yeah with single part flexible adhesive.

Bal Bond is SBR, slurry as Siramic says above.

Does the cement slurry primer mix work with polymer modified self leveler too? Laid at 10 mm.(sorry for buttin in brad)
