Default Removing vinyl from floorboards and laying tiles

Bathroom floor is floorboards, with vinyl stuck down with some
black glue. Want to take up the vinyl. Glue looks a bit like
bitumen but it doesn't seem to soften with moderate heat.
Tried flat bladed shovel, but that won't cut through the glue
either. Any suggestions on getting it up?


Fein multimaster with an offset scraper blade in it.
