Default need help how to remove felt backing from old sheet vinyl


Hi.

We're taking up old felt backed sheet vinyl flooring. Ugh. Trying to
get down to the luan layer that we can see beneath.

The vinyl part of the sheet vinyl is peeling up fine, but the felt
backing is pretty tough and doesn't want to come up.

We've tried scraping with pretty dismal results.

Any ideas as to what the solvent might be? This was probably installed
in the 70s or 80s.

All help appreciated!!!
