DRY ICE LOOSENS THE
QUESTION; A friend told me you ance desenbed a method of using. dry ice te remove asphalt tile from a@ floor. Since he didn't save this, and now I wish to do the job, I'll appreciate your re-
peating
ANSWER The principle is making the tile adhesive s© chilled it becomes brittle and
loses its grip, and the tile can easily-be pried-up,.with a.putty knife. Put about 15 pounds ef
leave it on your starting area for about 10 or 15 minutes This should be enough for the -intense chill to work through to the adhesive. -As,soon as the tilés begin to loosen, move the bag of ice to the adjacent area, so it you continue prying up the-tiles With a little practice, youll get them up al- most like lifting a’ flapjack at the griddle
