Hi actually I cant find the link to ask a fresh question but I am just about to have my first try at tiling my bathroom floor.
The bathroom used to be an old ladies wet room. I ripped up the vinyl no problem but there is a rubbery adhesive left around the edges which I am guessing I need to remove so the ceramic tiles will stick properly.
How do I remove the adhesive? I know there will be some sort of solvent that would do it but the bathroom is downstair and there is no door so I wont be able to keep the dog from being nosy and anyway I avoid using anything noxious if I can. I have gradually been removing it around the edge using a wallpaper steamer. Does anyone have any other suggestions to make it a quicker process. Would a paint stripper work but then I don't actually have one!!!
