how? Thanks


Try using a household iron. It helps loosen the glue
and if enough glue exist on the tile it will help to reglue it.

Interesting idea. Would a hair dryer work too?


I don't think a hair dryer gets hot enough, and it may
be too direct. You may want to put something between
the iron and the tile such as wax paper or tin foil.
