Got rid of the old tiles in the kitchen.
Some of them were on plasterboard, and I have some holes to mend,
but I can cope with that. The problem is that some of the old tile
adhesive is still adhering to the PB. What's the best way of getting
a clean surface, ready for retiling, without destroying the PB?

Unless someone has used the waterproof adhesive (generally people
don't), warm water often softens it very well - how much it will soften
the plasterboard is another matter, but you've got nothing to lose
trying it.

I removed large amounts of tile adhesive this way in our bathroom, but
that was on plastered brick rather than plasterboard.

Would a paper stripper steamer help?
