Hi there,
I'll be installing parquet wood flooring soon. This is the kind where
you use the glue and set the 12"x12" tiles. But first I am removing the
old vinyl floor, about 15 years old. I think they are the kind that are
self sticking. I've removed some of them with a scraper and heat gun.
There is some residual tackiness left by the old adhesive. How important
is it to remove this stuff...I really can't see it. If I need to remove
it..how do I do it? Can I just paint over it with some sort of primer?

thanks in advance for your help

Mike

One more thing I forgot to ask.....

I was thinking of giving the floor a light sanding and applying several
coats of polyurethane so it would have a smooth finish. Would that be a
bad idea?

thanks in advance.
