Hi NG,
This page shows a couple areas of tile adhesive I'm removing:
I have 2 areas of tile removal that are problematic for me, and I wanted to see if anyone knew any tips. The first has thin tiles as yet unremoved, with sticky, petroleum based goo holding it fast after many years. I could imagine a few solvents that might loosen this up, including water, mineral spirits, and lighter fluid, and goo gone.
This area had normal ceramic tile on it, so this might be thinset. Here, I might think of water, water with a base, water with acid, maybe mineral spirits. Your thoughts? TIA
