my dad took the vinyl tile off our garageand he wants to spread cement over the garage floorwhat type of cement would stick to the floor as well as tile glue so the cement would stck forever
I can't understand hy you are putting more cement on a concrete floor. But if you need to repair holes or cracks and the VCT glue has been removed, I would use a 'self leveling grout' (Stronger than cement) The only way that thin of a coat would stick is to prepare the floor with a light acid wash and then apply a 'bonding agent' and then pour the self leveling grout. It should be soupy and you should have enough on hand to finish before you start. Good luck.
You should really try to get that glue up. The problem is going to be if it's like a mastic (soft and sticky) because that going to take a chemical stripper like Xylene or at least lacquer thinner. Go airflow and at least a half mask with chemical cartridges are necessary. A full mask and personal air supply is really a much better way to go. What ever you put down over that tile adhesive is only going to be as good as that tile adhesive. If you try to put down something hard and brittle like a thin layered cement (Sakrete's Top Bond) now you have something brittle over something soft what do you think is going to happen? You could try putting something soft over it like a urethane rubber but again if the old adhesive fails you spent a lot of time money on Urethane. If the heavy adhesive is off you can try renting a diamond grinder but you have to be careful these are not toys and you can do more damage than good if you don't think you can run it properly... Your cheapest way out may be to just put more tile down. If you like send my some pictures of the floor and I'll try to help... This is my profession.
