Removing tar paper
Q: I need to remove the tar paper and tar backing left behind while stripping my pine floors of years of layering from laminates. I believe this material was laid sometime in the 1940’s or 1950’s and it was adhered directly to the pine plank flooring. How do I remove this tar paper like material?
A: Never been down this road. Would it work to heat the tar paper with a heat gun, enough to soften it and cause it to release from the wood? You would still need to have the floors sanded after ward if you plan to use these as your finished floor.
