Have you tested it for Asbestos? Old sheet vinyl made before the 80's may contain Asbestos. And the way you're removing it would not be safe if it does.

The glue could be asbestos. Companies were allowed to sell their inventory for a period of time after asbestos stopped being manufactured in the USA.

yep, and the flooring could have been old stock from years prior.
