..... hi guys

just got up my old lino and got up as much glue as possible. theres still some glue that just wont shift. am i right in thinking i can simply seal the floor now with BAL Primer straight over the old glue?

i promise you it just wont budge and ive been told i should just prime straight over it. can you tell me thats correct/?

cheers

hi mate - yeah im using a sharp scraper and a chisel which has woeked so easy to get the stuff up. thers absolutely no lumps. its just the residue and everythinmg is completely flat. id say thres a thin kind of layer over most of the floor but since the floor has been up its actually seemed to have dried :) :)

Are you going to use the normal BAL primer or SBR?
