remove tile adhesive
have removed tiles off bathroom wall,but how do i remove adhesive without taking chunks off the wall??
|
Scraper
A heated scraper will soften the glue on the wall (heat with a steamer ,hair dryer, boiling water
|
with great difficuty. is it a solid wall or a plaster wall? you could try a combination of a paint scraper, elbow grease and a belt sander or rotary sander. Although make sure you wear a good mask and it will create alot of dust. If you are re-tiling, glue a layer of really thin plywood on the wall first. it will make it easier if you have to do it again in the future.

Remove tile cement
Try using a Steam Wallpaper Stripper the Heat from the Steam will soften the Tile Cement and it will come away from the wall easily with a Scraper..
They are cheap to Buy or Hire.. |
remove tiles
if you are retileing you only have to remove the loose adhesive, a good tiler can use a large notched trowel no problem,or spot the tiles,the walls dont have to be perfectly smooth,if you are painting the walls remove loose adhesive and replaster
|
if the adhesive is not flaking and has a good bond to the wall just prime the wall and re-tile the wall.
