Anyone had the pleasure of trying to remove tar paper from wood floors? Our kitchen is in dire need of sprucing up, and I started pulling up the linoleum only to find another layer (I'm guessing from the 40's or 50's) of some kind of tile and then, of course, tar paper. The latter does NOT want to come up. Google suggests all sorts of folks have the same problem, but finding solutions isn't so easy.

Heat gun maybe? Heat the whole works up, then peel a bit at a time? I think the floor is pine, but I'm not certain of that. We may just get it clean enough to paint and go with a "primitive" milk-paint look for the floor.

Thanks!
