| Aug 30, 2015 at 22:09 | comment | added | ojait | Yea, I started to answer with the cement board suggestion , but thought against it seeing how you already have a concrete floor. The problem is how to secure to the slab? Screwing cement board to a concrete floor will be tedious. It requires drilling holes for a TapCon screw. I suggest glue removal. A bit more effort , but a clean slate and no cement board to come loose down the line. | |
