    a good sharp spade should do the trick under the lino! hack away to your hearts content and you will get it up!

    any sharp spade will do it ,or large wide kitchen knife, try and remove glue from floor if its in blobs ,or not level.and clean the floor be4 they get there.u can use a window scraper,they sell em in car shops 4euro or hardware stores.there are window cleaners or small tools with blade 4inchs wide approx.
