Bathroom lino stuck on top of tiles how do I get it off!?


Question:Have some tiles on bathroom floor only had lino put down and it was stuck with glue have tried to lift it and have put turpintine under it but it is not coming up. It was put down when having a refurb only the tiles were better I hate it, oh I was ill at the time it was done or I would have not let them do it and it's been down for over 2 years. Any suggestions, thanks.

Answers:
Go to a specialist tile shop. They ahve an array of crazy chemicals to treat tiles. I'm sure they'll have something to get adesive off!


use a heat gun to make it supple then use a pant scraper to scrape it off
Not elegant but a garden spade is a most effective solution.

It can slide in and seperate the two.
Try Goo-Gone
Garden Hoe should do it, NOT heat, what would you scrape it with?
All that will get it off is a scraper and a lot of elbow grease.
Soak the floor really well with hot or really warm water. Let it soak in and it should remove those tiles in just a bit. Some Goo B Gone or OOPS should help remove and left over glue.
cut into strips with knife pull strips with pliers using knife to ease glue
