I am working on putting in vinyl plank flooring in my basement. I ripped up the carpet and there are what looks to be 12"x12" Vinyl squares adhered to the concrete slab (i am moving forward assuming these are asbestos tile) Some were damaged and came up easily- i carefully removed those pieces spraying them with water to keep and dust minimal until i was left with only piece that were well adhered. I dont want to rip up the floor because of the cost and risk of asbestos going airborne so i was planning on leveling the floor and installing the plank directly over. I was going to use Henry patch and level to fill in any divots, cracks, or imperfection in the exposed concrete area and my plan was to use Henry Feather Finish to skim coat over the entire surface to level any missing tile and imperfections in the floor. My question is: does this seem a sufficient way to go about preparing the surface and if so, do i need to prepare the tile and specific way before applying the skim coat to ensure a proper bond?
Any help is greatly appreciated in advance, I have also attached some pictures.
