How do you get concrete ready for vinyl flooring?

A smooth surface is needed since vinyl reflects imperfections in a surface. Grinding to get rid of high spots and concrete slobbers and a leveling material should leave you with a smooth flat substrate to work with. The MOST important preparatory event is to seal the concrete. Be sure to choose a sealer that doesn't interfere with your mastic/glue. Some sealers are not compatible and cause a loos of bond. I recommend a sealer thaT migrates into the pore structure [capillaries] of the concrete and forms a solid Inside the concrete. Not only do you have a Waterproof concrete after application, this type of product stops concrete chemistry and moisture from migrating out to a surface destroying the bond. In air conditioned space a low interior humidity will suck moisture from a slab to the interior space where it is trapped. Water collects under sheet goods, destroys the glue bond and it will cause a bubble to appear. Waterproof the concrete and you won't have these problems! Use a product that is low VOC as well so you'll have no problems with odors or chemicals. Material needs 48 hours to cure, then your ready. Rolling to get entrapped air out and get good contact is essential

What is a roof mastic?

"Mastic" is a very old word for a tree sap gum. Today the word mastic is used for any gum-based adhesive, even if the adhesive has no actual gum. Roofing mastic is a sticky fiber cement used to repair fiberglas and asphalt shingle roofs. It is generally used for temporary repairs unless it will be totally protected from sun damage. You can get it at any good building supply store. I don't see the word "mastic" on the labels of many of the products that are often called mastic by tradespeople.
