Description

I used Travetine mosaic 12x12 for floor tile in the shower, but thinset was able to squeeze through. Cleaned most of it off, but some thinset have dried in cracks to fill in grout.

How can I get dried thinset out without damaging these small pieces?

Joints are too irregular for any mechanical type of tool to clean the joints. You might try dental style pics if the thinset is not more than a day or two old. _________________________ Randall
