Marks on tiles
Hi everybody
I'm in the middle of my first tiling project, just cleaning up before grouting and i've notice the tiles i've cut have black marks where the lever was pressed to break them.
Of course i didn't notice until the adhesive is set, so please tell me there is some way to get them off??!!
The cutter is a cheap score and press thing with a cast aluminium lever that presses the tile
thanks for any advice

Re: Marks on tiles
A bit of WD-40 on a cloth should remove them.

Get a ceramic or bath rubber and it should do the trick.

If it is a scratch then you'll have to replace the affected tile /s if it's just a mark it should rub off as said with a bath rubber.

Re: Marks on tiles
if you have to remove then cut out surrounding grout so the shock doesnt transfer to other tiles when you hit it then smash the tile centre and remove from inside out

Re: Marks on tiles
place masking tape over breaker a couple of layers is best
to remove marks try jiff (white gritty pot cleaning product) use paper towl and jiff to rub off marks
