I don't know what adjectives that was nearly but there really is no smooth way. It's merely gonna take some elbow grease. Pull up the vinyl the best you can and consequently get after it w/ a floor scraper or straightened hoe.Thats if it's glue to a slab. If you have a wood subfloor,it's usually easiest to run right over the old beside the new. You can also staple and glue down an underlayment. Patch your seam and put the new floor down.Meanwhile, you can check out these places I googled.

Does anyone know where on earth to find...
Certainly it would give a hand to know the formulation of the adhesive, but beyond that any "dissolver" used, even one significant in pulling the sheet stock, would potential create a gummy residue. Lacquer thinner is probably a good bet, but noxious, possibly toxic, notably flammable, and will leave GUM.

Without knowing the substrate, or your intent after the reality, that info. might help as very well.

Has anyone tried that mighty putty stuff?
Answers:    For sheet Vinyl removal, you need to know, some
sheet Flooring protection and adhesive may contain asbestos.

So DO NOT SAND the protection off. this will produce LOTS of asbestos to become airborne.

If you think nearby might be asbestos, then you should whip whatever precautions you can. Seal rotten walls from floor to ceiling,and cover the ceiling. Turn off AC/heat, to mute wind contamination. (Or hold it tested and if it is asbestos, have an abatement speciallist come in)
Then scratch up the floor, (you can use some soapy water to drain dust, and when it gets to the funding it will make it come bad easier. Plain water won't dance through the backing, but a bit soap will make it soak right contained by.

Another way is to use boil. Get a heat gun, and warmth the vinyl. And pull it up as you move about...

Either way is amazingly tedious.
A solvent may work powerfully, and would surely be easier and quicker, but the problem is getting it though the vinyl to the adhesive. I enjoy heard of this anyone done, but never tried it myself.

If putting a wood underlayment over the existing flooring is an option, to be precise much easier!!!!

How do i install a untried toilet?
Sheet vinyl is adhere using Latex Base Adhesives.

The solvent for that is Methylene Chloride. It costs today close to $25 a gallon. Lacquer thinner is NOT a solvent for Latex Adhesive.

However, problem is that the Latex Adhesive is under the vinyl and the Methylene Chloride cannot achieve at it successfully.

There really is no other method other than a ample handle wood scraper to seize under the stuff and tilt it up best you can. Then rent a floor sander and get at the remainder of it.
Can I use styrofoam as mute noice?
I don't know something like solvents and it would probably get remarkably messy.

I went to my local rental center and rented a floor stripper. It is a large machine, but the dated sheet vinyl came right up.
