Removing Mastic from ceramic tile

[Supersucker]

I have a ceramic floor with some kind of carpet adhesive on it from having been overlayed. Any ideas on what to cut it with?

THANKS

We have never had a problme removing any kinda of carpet adhesive with AFTA

But any POG will work. Just make sure to rinse off any residue.

It depends on the mastic, but often a good stripper and a brush on a 175 will take it off pretty quick.

Sounds Like a pain. How much tile?

Not sure the footage, it's a foreclosure and the bank has accepted our offer. I have yet to see it in person, closing I think the 13th. Will be back in town on the 10th.
There is a sizeable den in the basement and a hallway upstairs affected so probably 350-450sf.

My TM is down and I don't have a spinner so this should be fun.

Thanks for the help anything else is appreciated.

Also what to do about concrete paint flaking off the garage floor?
Need to get these floors addressed before we start schlepping in our stuff.
