Being removed from hallway, and probably kitchen.
Was underneath 1980’s wood grain laminate made of some type of rubberized plastic petroleum product. The linoleum isn’t coming up easy. The black adhesive mostly remains on the hardwood floor. What’s the best course of action to remove this 70 year old adhesive? |

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Be cautious with those, the Tiles in the 30s 40s and 50s had Asbestos in them.

If they are 9 x 9 size, there is 100% chance of them being asbestos... If other size, and built before 1960, still some chance... As long as your scraping and its comeing up in CHUNKS, thats OK... DO NOT GRIND.. NO DUST...
BEST way to do it is to screw down 1/2 inch plywood OVER the stuff and START OVER.

Don't know about linoleum, especially of that vintage, but a heat gun works wonders on peel and stick tile. Might be worth a try

This is actually rolled linoleum. Not brittle like the tiles. We want to try and go back to the hardwood floor.

i think the HEAT is a good idea... Most "GLUE" turn gummy when heated and can be scraped with a wood chisle or putty knife.
