Don't you prime first and then put the tiles on Mike. :smilewinkgrin:

depends if there's a masaic border going up, i'll just prime the bottom half of the room and tile it then prime the top half. i dont like to leave the primer too long before tiling.i get the bottom half and all the mosaics up before starting the top

I thought there must be a good reason. I s'pose you could do like that member asked the other day about tiling from the ceiling down. That way it wouldn't be a problem.....:smilewinkgrin:

I had a similar problem a little while ago and I had to put up with being called a messy bugger on here... Now its your turn you messy bugger :lol:

I have one of thoseStanleyy knife scraper things, that works really well with a new blade in it if the tiles are not to easily marked.

Mike, before we can truly say how to remove the primer we need to know what the tiles are made of first.

this time they're ceramics, i've done it now with a scraper as rich suggested. i was hoping there is a liquid cleaner i could put on a cloth to make it easier :smilewinkgrin:
