I like the idea of priming the floor
with a polyurethane varnish. ( I would use "flat" )
Then put down the spare tiles.

Second idea is to chuck it all,
buy an appropriate tough carpet,
and cut it to size......
( how do you find one that doesn't fray ? )

That MIGHT have done it, though good old sudsy ammonia would have been
better.
Seems to me that it should have stuck.

Have you thought about any of the suggestions that have been offered?

I'm just wondering if there was any wax on the floor.
Also, how textured the floor was that it was applied over.

Wife stripped the old floor surface using a household cleaner.

Very slight texture on the old floor.
I'm not sure they make "glass-smooth"
floor covering any more... too slippery.
