no more scraping, you'll damage the tiles %26amp; all your hard work.


mix up a solution of kettle de-scaler %26amp; carefully go over the surface, rinse %26amp; then buff.

you can try mineral spirits - we recently put in dura ceramic tiles that are put down with an adhesive and that is what we were told to use ... or you can try something like goof-off.. that will generally remove adhesives - i use it to get the rest of stickers off of things.
if mineral spirits works laquer thinner willwork better
If it is a powder based adesive wet it thourouly and get a plastic blade to scrape off, if it if a glue type then loads of white sprit or the stuff that they clean paint brushes with , but I think that it will be spunge it down with water and scrape off
White spirit
No quick solution, but you will know better the next time...........
