Flooring – What to use between a sticky floor and interlocking vinyl tiles (a floating floor)

vinyl-flooring

I didn't want to install luxury interlocking tiles over the existing floor because there were already two layers of vinyl tiles on the floor and it would be too high.

After removing the old tiles, the residual glue is causing the wood floor to be sticky.

I'll probably put red rosin paper down on the sticky floor and install the floating interlocking tiles over that.

Is this OK or am I missing something? Is there a better solution? Thanks!

Rosin paper or felt would work fine. I have used felt paper in the past because I had it in the shop.
