my project is regrouting all of the tile on the bathroom walls. walls around room and in shower area. the tile is applied to plaster walls and i have been advised the grout removal will be very tough.

Other than hand tools, can anyone recomend any power tools that would work good on this grout? Dremel or Milwaukees Die Grinder? Any suggestions?

Thanks

If it's wall tiles, the typical bathroom tiles measuring 4-1/4 inches square, I can't recommend power tools -- they'll scuff up the edges of the tiles. I use a utility knife. Buy the 100-pack of blades and go for it. There's no easy way.
