Once you got the tiles up a very sharp chisel will lift the 2 part or get one of the proper scrapers form Trade tiler and extra blades. Takes a bit of effort but will come up clean. Highlander | ||||||||||

Ninja, Once the tiles are up (sweat and tears i'd imagine) if you use a tool like the Tileasy HD scraper the adhesive will come up ok. Very sharp though so only use it when you're calm. D | ||||||||||

As I have said if not to large an area get cheap chisels out of Focus, Argos etc or get a Heavy scrapper like this one at TradeTiler.Ltd You can get various ones from different merchants. I have used them and they work. Highlander | |||||||||||
