Just peeled some more old flooring up in the bungalow. It had been stuck

Has anyone any bad experiences of tiling straight over this sort of stuff?


Yes, I went over it with a levelling screed, which gave me a smooth and
level surface to tile on to.

A shop fitters trick for killing off the stickyness of surfaces like
this is to sweep some dry levelling compound powder over it. It sets
into all the sticky bits and stabilises them.
