A thin layer will usually brush off or come off with a plastic pan scourer, because it dries out before the cement sets. Failing that, try something acidic to attack the cement (and hope the waterproofer doesn't completely stop it getting in). Brick Acid is sold for the purpose, but I have successfully used kettle descaler for this. Be careful with any metal tools, as the metal can easily mark glazed tile faces, but a combination of acid followed by brute force can break the bond. -- Andrew Gabriel |
u could always sand it off using some coarse sandpaper

Just wash off when done. NT |
