When we bought this house, it had blue vinyl peel and stick tiles in the kitchen that did not go with our decor. We asked the guy who was laying our carpet if there would be a problem if he laid down some peel and stick tiles that we liked over them. He said "no problem"! He used a black tarry glue between the old and new tiles.
Within a couple weeks we saw this stuff between some of the tiles. We asked him about it and he said that problem would go away in about 3-6 months.
It has been 9 years and it still comes up. We have used WD-40, Goof Off, and a scraper to clean it off. It looks good for a couple weeks and then this black gunk oozes out again. My husband curses this guy every time we have to go through the cleaning process because he asked him if there would be any problems with this.
Is there any thing we can use that will stop this problem?
