Hello. I have a question on prepping a concrete floor for ceramic tile. The concrete is mostly bare but around the perimeter of the room i had sprayed the base boards with semi gloss paint and got quite a bit of overspray on the concrete about 6 inches out from the baseboards. Can i just add a bonding agent to the thinset or am i going to have to get up ALL the paint from the concrete first? Thanx for any input. Also, the paint is not scraping off the concrete very easily ;)

Hi
You should use a modified thin set...it will stick to the over spray. If you could coarse sand the paint a bit to remove the gloss, it would be a good idea...other than that....the 6 inchs shouldn't be a problem.
