how do I remove ceramic tile adhesive from the wall?
Jan 26, 2009 by homer simpson | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I removed old ceramic tile from my small 4x6 bathroom walls. The adhesive which I think was old glue that looks like peanut butter remains on the wall. What is the best way to remove it for a clean wall to be painted? I tried a little scraping with a putty knife but it didn't work too well. Is there some kind of adhesive remover?
This is tile halfway up the walls on plaster walls in a 4x6 bathroom. I'd rather not tear down the walls and replace them or cover them with new drywall.
And it still is called a mastic. Almost impossible to remove w/o tearing up the wall board. Depending on just how old the glue/ tiles are, there is the remote possibility of asbestos in the adhesive. I d advise against sanding. The clue you stated was the color. Brown, where the newer mastics are latexed based and a lighter cream color. Tearing out the board and replacing or gouing over the glue w/ a wood wainscot or new tile might be a better way to go GL

They used what is called "mastic" on them tiles..the best thing to do is to get a random orbital disc sander(5 inch) and grind most of it down, but not all of it just enough to get a the raised areas of the glue off, otherwise you will eat the sheetrock up trying to get it all off..this will happen even if you try to hand scrape or sand it all off completely,..then you skim the whole wall with joint compound(drywall mud) sand the joint compound down to a smooth surface once it has dried, then prime it and paint it..Make sure to clean the walls off from the sanding before priming..a goodd dust brush will handle this

When it comes to retiling your bathroom walls, it is no easy task to get the old tiles off. If you have ever tried it, you will know that it can be extremely hard work and take hours to do the job properly. It can also be extremely frustrated when stubborn ceramic tile adhesive refuses to budge, but there are a few tricks of the trade that you can try to remove ceramic tile adhesive.
Before you remove ceramic tile adhesive, always wear the correct safety equipment. Gloves and goggles are a must because you will either have to use brute force or chemicals, or even a combination of both. You can put no price on your own safety, so make sure that you are well protected.If you want some more information so please visit the link which is given below

Is there likely to be a problem if I use ceramic floor-tile adhesive to lay porcelain floor-tiles?
Feb 09, 2012 by Jim C | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I bought a huge tub of Tile-A-Floor Ceramic floor-tile adhesive. My wife then changed her mind about the floor-tiles and the ones we have now are ceramic. I can't get my money back on the adhesive. Would I encounter problems using the adhesive intended for ceramic tiles to lay a porcelain tile floor?
You may..Since ceramic is more pourous than porcelain it may not grip as well. A latex modified thin set is the way to go.The newer mastics stay a bit pliable and since you ll be walking on them I never ;ike to use a pliable glue on floor tiles.GL

How can I remove ceramic tile adhesive from drywall without doing too much damage?
Mar 04, 2007 by anthony j | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I recently tiled my bathroom walls and I made a mess with the mastic. I've tried scraping the left overs and I am damaging the drywall.
Drywall repair is one of the easiest things to do, so I would just cut out where you slopped the mastic and then patch up the hole. Using the solvent will make paper or paint not adhere well and is more work than it's worth not to mention you'd still have to repair the drywall.

Help! I need a non-toxic way to remove linoleum tile adhesive from a ceramic tile floor?
Feb 12, 2008 by Kim | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
The previous owners covered beautiful tile floor with the most hideous linoleum flooring. I am able to remove the floor, but the adhesive is where I am stuck...almost literally. I bought adhesive remover, but after reading all the warnings about poison and toxins, I don't want to use it in the house having children. Help!
Soak in warm water and scrape. The good news is that the adhesive will not adhere well to the tile surface. All you need to do is wet it, let it sit, and scrape. Works well on concrete.
Any remaining residue can be scrubbed off with barkeepers friend and a white nylon scrub pad..

Can I use ceramic tile adhesive instead of grout as crack repair on my bathroom tiles?
May 20, 2008 by D | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
You can use thin-set type adhesive mortar instead of grout but why would you want to? Grout looks better in a bathroom and is easier to work. And by the way, you can grout over grout, we do it all the time. If it's the tile itself that is cracked instead of the joint you will have to create enough of a opening to allow the grout to form a complimentary appearance. A Dremel tool or grout saw will do nicely.
