2. Using your hammer and bar, it is time to eliminate quarter round or any plank molding trim from around the edges of your floor. If you are going to reuse your previous molding make sure not to break any of your pieces as your eliminating them. Seeing with a completely new floor as your going I’d suggest replacing of the molding. It depends upon your budget and how beat up the molding is.

4. Vacuum the floor of all dirt and debris to keep it.
5. It is time to skim coat the floor. We utilized Skim Coat & a Henry 547 Universal Patch. This skim coat and water gets mixed. Follow the directions.

This will fill in any texture in the vinyl in addition to the areas you had to eliminate. Even in the event that you do not have to cut any areas outside, your vinyl will suck up tight to the old floor so you will see the feel of the old flooring come through to a new flooring. This is a measure that is required and is what makes laying vinyl flooring over vinyl flooring potential.

7. Now that your skim coat has dried. Inspect the surface. Using your trowel scrape off some other traces or any drips you left. The trick to the skim coat is to make it flat as you can.
