Ok
I have peel and stick from about 8 years ago,I am in the process of replacing it again not a bad lifespan. Buy the high end it counts!
My question is this I am removing the old tile not easy (heat gun) and there is glue residue what is the best way to get this off and without fumigating everyone? Also do I now stagger the new floor a half inch or so ,that way the new floor is not exactly where the old one sat. Thanks in advance |

Not my area of expertise, and TheGuru is laid up right now. Maybe we can coax him to answer in a day or two.
Does the removal almost make you wish you went for the low end peel and stick tiles? (Would they have left less residue?) |
Well I don't know about that but I bet I would have been doing this sooner.
Oh and the flooring was not the problem causing the removal. My wonderful leaking fridge caused this mess.
I have a new question,I removed much of the sticky stuff after two tries but there still remains a sticky residue. This is not as sticky but none the less. So If I were to go ahead and re-level the floor (filling in the nail heads and feathering the edges) can I go ahead and put a sealer on the whole floor and then tile? Or will the sealer cause issues . Should I go without the sealer? |
