Can you use the deep litre method
Over a plastic lined shed floor or
Is sand & a kitty scoop better

Both methods would work fine in that situation. Use whichever one you prefer.

Will the deep method still compost
On top of vynal/plastic

I think as long as it is deep enough and doesn't get too dried out it should compost fine

I personally would use DLM only over ground. The moisture required for it to compost properly/well will cause undesired results to your floor. In your situation ( I would use sand ), and scoop out gumdrops regularly. Then place in a compost pile for future gardening use.

Paint will surely extend the life of the floor. The sand should dry up and stay dry with the little moisture from droppings, that should dry with no problem. Try to keep weather related moisture like rain and snow to a minimum if possible for best results. You may have heard the term " "MADDER THEN A WET HEN "

Well, on this side of the pond , I have heard it often.
