Can I lay this over the existing vinyl flooring or do I have to rip it up?

I laid mine over the existing because I was unable to get it up. If the existing vinyl is tight it shouldn't be a problem. Ideally though, you'll want to take up the old.

Yes you can lay it over existing flooring as long as there is less than 3 layers and your doors will still be able to open and close. Although some would disagree with me and insist that all of the old tile be removed but I have 3 layers in my bathroom and 2 layers in the kitchen. I ordered this tile and found it to be very fragile and thin, so I didn't put it down.

Yes. As long as the old floor provides a reasonably smooth surface without holes or wide cracks, it should work fine. I put it over an old vinyl tile floor in my utility room with complete success.

The floor is vinyl and there is no padding. It has to be thin enough to fold up and put in its carrier for storage.

Not really. Mass loaded vinyl would be better. Another even more effective option is to sandwich drywall with a layer of an acoustic dampener between them. There is stuff sold in 5 gallon pails for this purpose.

You have a problem. Ideally you would repour the garage floor, but that is not practical. Depending on how much of the floor is settled, you might use a top coat cement that comes premixed. The other option is a rubber or vinyl sill that glues to the cement floor. These are not great options. I would try the top coat cement first. Cement doesn't cost that much. Sorry I don't have better alternatives.

I'd suggest searching for the install instructions. I don't have vinyl install experience, but I'm not sure what benefit you are trying to get with this.

I would first reinforce the backside. Go to a fabric or upholstery fabric shop and get some tape that has a self-bonding agent on it that is covered with a plastic/paper strip that peels off. Position the piece underneath pull the cover strip on one side first, pressing material into place, then do the other side being careful that the tear is well aligned. Then use the vinyl/leather repair on top of it.

I laid a sheet over it and put it on the floor, I don't think you want to put anything thick on it.

How can I verify the type of floor I have and what will happen if I use it on sheet vinyl?

Yea u can roll it up. In fact it comes rolled up. But any creases would be permanent.

I don't have vinyl floors but the package says "Use: On all polyurethane finished real wood floors and all brands of laminated wood floors as well." Since it does not mention vinyl, I would say no.

No. You need to remove existing staples to put vinyl floor down. If not it will poke through because it is not hard.

No need to overlap if over a wood subfloor; butt edges together. I only stapled corners down and then used making tape along long sides; I didn't want staples getting in the way of the nailer. Don't lay out all the paper all at once because it's a petroleum product, you don't to walk on it too much. Lay out one row at a time as needed.

No this is not for use with heat transfer vinyl. If you're looking for something to put over heat transfer vinyl get some Teflon sheets.

You don't need another underlayment if your flooring already came with one. I installed bamboo click-in flooring that did not come with underlayment, so I installed this one.

You might need thicker underlayment for the second floor.I am using this in the 1st floor, so far OK.

Then you don't have to worry about there not being something under it, the original material will be under it. All you'll probably have to do is put a small amount of the liquid vinyl over the burn, then use the heating device to cure the liquid.

You could try to use double sided tape. But when it sweeps across the floor it might pop off.
