A mate of mine had 2 tiles replaced in his floor. The numpty who fitted them used (a white tub with green writing on) so I assumed it to be Bal green star.He used the adhesive as a grout aswell but its a different colour to the rest of the grout.

What would be the easiest way to remove some of the adhesive so I can put some grey grout in it for him cus it looks awfull.

The Bosch pmf 180e will easily remove the adhesive with the correct tile cutting blade.

boil a kettle and then brush the water over the joints, let it soak for 5 minutes to soften up and then rake it out with a stanley knife.
