Tile glued to hardwood.
"Jay Man" wrote in message Hi,
I'm thinking about installing laminate floor and started investigating
our current flooring situation (moved in recently). While I can get the
stick on tile off the sticky substance remains on the floor. How do I go
about getting this stuff off? Any help is greatly appriciated.
Have to share this with you but really don't think it's going to be much
help.
Because of a bad pipe leak in my extremely old kitchen, I decided to remodel
the whole thing. I removed two layers of tile and found hardwood floor
underneath. The oldest layer of tile left a glue and papery substance.
Been thinking about what to do (I work slowly) when the 14 yr. old lab
decides to use the kitchen floor to sick on. Numerous splats of diarrhea
all over the place. Didn't find it until morning and proceeded to clean it
up. Low and behold (I'm not kidding) the glue substance came up and left
bare wood stripped of residue.
The dog recovered so the floor remains "unfinished". Since I don't want to
go through that again, I will also be watching for better suggestions.
