When the carpet was pulled up, it left behind a layer of glue and foam carpet backing. The old underlayment is firmly adhered... we have scraped down as far as we can into the glue layer, and it is relatively flat and smooth now. We really cannot/do not want to sink a lot of money into this job, as they will likely only be in the home until they are confined to a nursing home and lose their house as a result. Can we go ahead and put down peel & stick tile at this point, or do we need to do something else prior to doing this?
