Someone else's mistake and now I need to fix. Problem: carpet glue over tile. Then it was painted. Can't strip old tile its asbestos. Will a leveling compound stick to this mess? Then I could paint it right?

The carpet was pulled out and you have vinyl asbestos tile under-correct? Now you want to use leveling compound and paint it? Why not sheet vinyl over the old tile base?

So unlevial, swirls of glue painted over still remaining would love to tile over it. Commercial tile but got to get it levial some how. I love other peoples screw ups.

So out of wack cant tile over it as is. Would like to put in commercial tile it is a large area in a commercial building.

If you are going to tile over, use self leveling compound, prime with an acrylic emulsion primer and then install new tile.
