I'm attempting to put in a vinal floor in an upstairs bathroom. I've never done it before, but I know the process. I have a couple questions, though.
1. The old floor was the press and stick tile. The tiles leave the floor real sticky when pulled up. Will that glue cause problems with the adhesive I'm using for the new vinal floor?
2. The piece of vinal I'm using is a scrap piece that I bought at Lowe's. No warranty. No manufacturer details. Not even a name of manufacturer. A book I read said to match the manufacturer of vinal with the manufacturer of adhesive. Is this really neccessary?
3. Does it matter if I use a trowell with 1/16" slots vs. 1/8" slots?
