Assuming this product is what I think it is, you might want to also try looking at a hardware store for paint removers. I used a lot of that stuff when I refinished the fireplaces on an old house I used to rent; it came in very large cans. (I didn't know it would work on tile adhesive, though). For paint, it makes the paint crinkle up and assume a texture a lot like the layer that forms on top of pudding - i.e., soft but it sticks together so it can be peeled off. The reason I say "try other places" is I've found Color Tile apparently makes a lot of their profit not on the tile (which is relatively low-priced), but on accessories for the tile. I considered buying their tile, and felt it was a good price, until I discovered they only sold the grout, etc., in very small, high-priced bags, so that the cost of it was almost as much as the cost of the tile! -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
