Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, :female::female:, I think???
But seriously, plaster comes of any substrate very easily, wet it, let it soak then wipe away.
True it may stain grout, but it won't hurt the tiles.
Get on with it girl:DI like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -

Some is very thick and I didn't manage to get that off.
I'm now wary of trying any "tough" methods in case I damage the tiles.
I'm resorting to wetting the thick bits at regular intervals, whilst I wait for the firm to come back and sort it out, as I have read that plaster takes several weeks to "cure" and am assuming it couldn't get so darn hard in several days that they will be unable to remove it. I guess keeping on wetting it will make it harder for it to "cure" whilst I wait for them to do this.0 -
leave to soak in how water
Check after a few hours and maybe refresh the water
Often have to do this to reuse/replace loose tiles and when not possible to buy matching
Don't rush, let the water do the work and the bulk will just scrape off0 -
Don't scrape it with anything metal or you'll get grey marks on the tiles. I always use a spray bottle filled with water and a cloth or a green dish scrubby. Just spray liberally and you'll see the edges start crumbling. You can just wipe these away and then do the next bit.
If you're really desperate to scrape it, use a plastic knifeDebt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0
