I have done very little tile installs and need some info. Going to help my son do the floor in a bathroom that had a glued down vinyl. Apart from scraping up the remaining glue what else do I need to do?

Taking up sheet floor sucks bananas. It might been easier with a floor scraper, not a scrapper.if clean (meaning no paint or old glue) and no cracks in the pad, I don't think you need anything, Shane
that's guidance we got from a flooring pro
we rented a floor scrapper too.

Level the floor. Sometimes need to rent a grinder or use leveling compound to get an even surface.I have done very little tile installs and need some info.

We'll scrape it good but I assume there will still be glue "in" the concrete. Will that be a problem with adhesion of the mastic?if clean (meaning no paint or old glue) and no cracks in the pad, I don't think you need anything, Shane

Yes, modified thin set is what was recommended.You said mastic. You are going to use thinset? Correct?
