I looked at a basement floor where there had been a flood, and all the
wood
parquet tiling had been removed. The room is about 12X16. That adhesive
is
as hard as a rock and would be about impossible to remove. Would the
standard procedure be to float the whole floor in thinset before applying
either
vinyl tile or paint? Wood the finished thinset job really be smooth
enough to
paint, or would it be full of swipes and ridges, if a professional did the
job?
Is putting down the thinset something an ameteur could do?

Remove the glue try harbor freight for a large propane torch.
Thin set is not for walking on, it is a base for ceramic tile.
