Hi,
Getting new windows in and old tiles around windows in kitchen and bathroom have been removed but what ever was used to stick them is still on back.
Anyone know the easiest way to remove this tile cement as I need to reuse the tiles, quite a few are totally intact?
Thanks for any help

An OMT with a carbide blade.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Try soaking them in a bucket of water overnight - then attempt to scrape off the addy with a stiff blade.

agree with ruski. i also found that the hotter the water the better the result. we were able to re-use most of our tiles after this method.0
