Removing old flooring

To remove old sheet vinyl and vinyl tile for a new installation of either ceramic tile or new vinyl flooring use Jasco's adhesive remover to aid in removal of stubborn adhesives. The usual practice of most is to yank up sheet vinyl -- leaving the backing on the floor! By applying Jasco Adhesive over the remaining pieces, the heat generated chemically will loosen up the remains. The same goes with vinyl tile. Jasco will add ease in scraping it off instead of yanking sheet vinyl off the floor. It is best to apply your iron and slowly peel away as the surface is heated with the iron. This is also true for vinyl tile. At the same time the adhesive is soft and can be scraped off with a putty knife. FAnder4251
