    I'll preface my question by clarifying that I had zero flooring experience before this job. I recently took out old composite tile from a basememt bathroom, intending to put down peel and stick vinyl tiles. (Upon reflection, I should have stuck the tiles right on top of the composite - sigh.) I used lino glue to stick the tiles right to the concrete. Reasonable success, despite a few bumps and unevenness. The timeline to bring a tenant was tight, so I did not roll the floor well to start. I have put a couple of coats of Citation sealer down, too. The floor is holding up ok, but some glue is still runny and tends to ooze out of a few cracks from time to time when stood on. I suspect there is some moisture from bathroom use that is stopping some of the glue from curing, and the sealer can't hold it back. I suspect the floor is beyond repair and will need to be completely redone. However, I implore this forum for any creative suggestions. If the floor could hold up for my tenants for at least a year, I would really like that -- without their feet getting sticking and without the moisture getting too bad.

    Thanks in advance.

    Chuck some cushion floor over the top.
    The oozing glue should hold it ;)
