I want to lay some self adhesive vinyl floor tiles over some existing floor
tiles.

The existing tiles are the very brittle vinyl asbestos ones and have cracked
where carpet gripper has been removed. Bits of tile are missing & I reckon
it will look pants if I tile over the gaps.

Only two options I can see are to remove all the tiles including old
adhesive - which will be a pig of a job, or to fill the gaps with something.

Its going to be in a very thin section of filler & will need to bond to the
adhesive. It will also need to be fairly quick drying, but remain workable
for long enough to get it flush without sanding.

Any suggestions?

I'm thinking of the old standby on the group - car body filler.

I was rushing to give that answer when you churlishly gave it
yourself.

It will pong a bit but not for long.
