Default Getting rid of lino bonded to concrete

Hi,
I've got some old lino that was bonded to a concrete that I need to
remove. Trouble is it's realy stuck. I've tried hot air guns, even
hammer and chisel and they hardly make a mark.

Has any one got some practicle suggestions for getting the stuff up?


You're looking for a "power scraper" - they look like an electric jackhammer
with a large flat flexible plate on the end of it. If you think of SDS +
tile removal chisel but on something that stands about 3 or 4 feet tall.

Hired one for a day from our local place - not expensive and made short work
of lifting a very well stuck vinyl floor without damaging the subfloor.
