Hello craftsmen, I could really use some advice before I throw away thousands of dollars of nice hardwood!

Let me paint the picture of the supplies on hand: Bellawood Brazilian teak, 5/8th inch thick hardwood flooring, allowed to acclimate for a month now in Poway California. I have Bostik MVP4 moisture vapor protection, and Bostik urethane adhesive.

Bought my first home and we decided to remove some nasty carpets in the living room and one of the bedrooms to lay down this nice wood flooring. In each room there is old glue on the cement, which I plan on removing with a bristle comb attached to my power drill, before applying the moisture protection and then glue and floor tiles. All this I feel pretty good about.

My problem is with the side bedroom. You see, this house was built in 1972, and the room in question USE to be a one car garage, but has since been converted to this room and a laundry room. Since it use to be a garage, the floor is somewhat uneven. If you put a level plane down, there are about three distinct graduations of level. The first two are not so bad, but the last near the end of the room which would have been the entrance to the garage, the floor drops gradually by about an inch.

My plan is for the first two uneven areas, just apply more glue or sealant in this area to make up for the 1/8-1/4 inch unevenness, and for the last drop off, smooth out a layer of cement first to make it level.

So my question is, is this a good plan? Any advice for a situation like this? Please help!

I hate to throw a monkey wrench in your plans but...5/8" Bellawood is not a gludown product, even by LL standards. Unless they changed their thinking in the last month.

Howard is right. I've glued the 3/8 solid teak and thats not even fun.

The adhesive residue removal needs to be completely off.

The garage slab is never meant to be level and hardly ever a flat plane. I'd invest in a few bags of SLC.
