    Got a corridor to uplift in a big office block soon. Its carpet tiles down stuck with a tackifer adhesive.

    I have to screed it the LVT or maybe a wood non slip ( anti slip if your not old skool )

    So I will have to uplift the adhesive as don't think there is a screed that can go over the ashesive.
    Whats best way to get it up? I was going to use a very sharp scraper.

    I know ! and its got NOTHING to do with the movement in the adhesive.

    What they mean is that Ardex can not be used over any water based adhesive nore can be used over any adhesive that can soften when moister is added.

    Ardex NA not as good as its made out to be then?


    Anyway Daz, mist with water and scrape it up.
