How do I remove the black backing left by removing old linoleum? I have scraped, used heat, and tried a product called "Oopps". There has got to be an easier way.

Welcome tildawilda,
I'm no flooring expert (hopefully one will respond!). But I know what you're going through. I tackled this job once (about 15 yrs ago). Back then, it was suggested I try a "power scraper" (from a tool rental store).
I considered that option--and said, "Naaaaahhh!" I ended up covering up the floor with new flooring.
You might also try the 'search' option on the BBS; I seem to recall that this topic has come up before....good luck.
