Okay, I apparently missed a wall with mastic all over it :wall:. The Mastic appears to have hardend to the porcelain tile, and is a pain in the butt to scrape off. Any suggestions?

IF it is mastic, then water will make it soft and easy to wash off. Wet it, cover with plastic and in a few hours it will wash right off.

Have to ask, and why is there mastic all over your porcelain tile. :confused:

Used Mastic to hang the tile, and then excess that got on my hands while working was transfered to the tile.

Hope it's not in the joints as well, the best tool is a sponge and pail of water when setting tile. :rolleyes:
