That glue on tiles drives me nuts

[geordie2013]

Just finished 35 sq m of 6 inch white ceramic tiles now got to spend next couple of hours getting rid of the glue in all 4 corners of every tile. I understand its there to protect the tile below from the one above it but does anyone have any tips for getting rid of them quicker. Cheers:wink_smile:

get a scraper with a razor blade in it from the DIY shops, the ones you use to take paint and stickers off windows, strips the glue off straight away

i take it you mean the glue is from the tiles when boxes in the factory

big stanley scraper works a treat. remember, it might be annoying to get rid of it... but it would be even more annoying if you had to try and buff the scratches out of the tile.

be careful if tiles are matt finish as metal scrapers will mark them ... i use a plastic ice scraper like the ones used to clear ice off your windscreens.........dave..

Do you mean the wax they put on to help protect tiles from shattering in the packs? I know it is a bit of a pain but it doesn't take that long to remove.
