Water?
Who'd u've thunk it?
I'll give it a try - thanks.
I just had a repair -- very hot water softened it and the cove base
pieces that had a smooth backing it just peeled off. Not so lucky on
field tiles but could remove some.
As limey above says, the wire wheel will do wonders to remove down to
the tile quickly. Just take a modicum of care as you can take the tile
itself down since the back isn't as hard as the baked fronts if are too
aggressive.
