I have purchased an old motel that will be demolished soon. I would like to remove some of the bathroom wall tiles and reuse in the new building. However, it appears to have been put on with superglue. The rectangular border tiles came off pretty easily, but the wall tiles themselves (4x4?) are breaking when I try to remove with putty knife slipped down behind them. Any suggestions?
