    Hi all,

    Currently doing a job where the ceramic tiles have been laid onto the we:stupidyrock. Took all the tiles up which flew up but the adhesive was a right pig to get up. Got the very long passage way and hallway to do next week and wonder if there a decent tool to hire to remove the adhesive?
    I used a SDS drill with a tile remover bit, worked very well but took a long time to...

    Any advice welcome cheers, ah and im fitting 9mm back down then Polyflor Camaro....

    if the floor has been primed before adhesive went down then you're only going to able to abrade/sand/grind it, if you try a chiselscraper and it pops up then switch your brain off and go for it.
