How do you glue down hardwood flooring?
Normally, installing new vinyl directly over old vinyl is not recommended because most manufacturers will not honor the warranty. Any bumps or dips in the surface can translate through your new vinyl. Dye or stains from the old vinyl can also seep into the new vinyl.
But you can remedy this by applying an embossing leveler over the old vinyl, and then sealing it with an acrylic sealer. Then trowel your glue onto the sealed surface, and install your new vinyl.
Most recommended practice, however, is to remove the old vinyl OR install new wood underlayment on top of the old vinyl. Then spread your glue and install new vinyl. As always, check the installation instructions for your new vinyl.

How do you glue off duck tape from glass?
It depends a great deal on what type of glue you are dealing with. Most glues are best removed by scraping them off with a razor blade - the same way you remove paint. Some glues can be softened by applying an appropriate solvent such as acetone or toluene which then makes the glue easier to remove. Some glues can be softened by CAREFUL application of heat such as from a blow dryer or heat gun. A few glues can be reduced to ash with a lower temperature flame and then wiped away. It really depends on the composition of the glue.
