I think it depends which Karndean adhesive has been used as some, possibly the majority, can be 'softened' using a heat gun (or hairdryer) but some can't. I think that, unless you know which adhesive was used, the only way you'll find out is by trying it - you don't need to get the vinyl particularly hot for the adhesive to revert to its 'tacky' state.Use proper Karndean adhesive, the pressure sensitive one is easy to work with. Normal contact adhesive can cause some sort of reaction with the polymers in the Karndean. If your customer wants you to do the job tell them that it needs the correct adhesive and get them to pay for it. Leave it 24-48 hours to fully set before putting furniture/bookcases on it.Try not to get any bits of debris into the adhesive under the Karndean, it only takes small pieces to create a bump in the vinyl which soon become obvious shiny high spots - the debris can also cause an edge to lift.
