Bamboo Floor Installation?

Question

We just removed the carpet from our family room and the builders spray painted the base boards on the cement before installing the carpet. It's not very thick, just over spray. Do we have to scrape up all the paint before glueing down the bamboo floors?

Answer 1

It depends on what type of paint it is. If is is water based latex, then scrape up as much as you can. It does not need to be perfect. If oil based, use thinner and rags to clean up the mess until it is translucent and thin.

Let it dry and put your floor down

Answer 2

the overspray should pose no problems unless it is seen and is ugly somehow.
