In Reply to: Vinyl over cement - Is it a good idea? posted by Susan on October 19, 19100 at 06:17:29:
: The cement floor in the kitchen has patches of adhesive. It is not level and has cracks (live in a clay area of foundation problems). Can I put vinyl (sheet or tile) over it. If so what preparation should I use? I hear horror stories about moisture, staining, etc. Help!

Do not remove the old adhesive until a flooring professional has looked at it.
Especially do not use shotblasters or any kind of mechanical means.If in fact the adhesive contains asbestos(cutback) you could contaminate your home.
