Oh Bugger !! i thought you lot would have a secret tilers solution that would disolved the spf into butter ? ha ha . so iam guessing this is going to be a massive refit down to the joists then as cement boards are over chipboard and chipboard isnt realy worthy of saving is it !

If the boards have been put down with adhesive and then screwed your in for a good day you'll have arms like popeye.
