Konrad von Carstein Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 We have removed self adhesive vinyl mosaic tiles from between or work top and kitchen units as we are going to use proper tiles. Removing them has left us with a coat of black residue which is an absolute b'stard to remove, it's not thick it's almost like a coat of paint. Will it be ok to rub this with sandpaper, prime it and just bash on with the tiling on top of it? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably want an electric sander as I know the stuff you are on about and it's thick and sticky as feck. Would surely just "clog" up sandpaper if done by hand.

indianajones Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 My advice is hire someone to do it. I tiled once and i'll never do it again 😅 Good luck though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. If you can afford it get someone else to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad von Carstein Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 It's a fairly small job 2.4 m2..best part of £400 we were quoted and we were buying the tiles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
