As a DIY novice but still love tiling, I get the thinset/mortar gush frequently…I use a cordless Dremel (Stylus is my favorite) with a 1/16 round Diamond bit to clean out the dried grout and a plastic putty knife and magic eraser to clean up sloppy mortar on the tiles…just have to go slow & make sure it follows the grout line, and be gentle on the tile surfaces with the putty knife & magic eraser

Yes, thank you. I'll look in my bag, I should have one. Watched 3 videos that say use a razor blade. My little diamond hand tool takes a while and is worn so looking for new ideas.
Thanks

That a boy, looks great.

Works for 1/8 joints. Can't find any 1/16 blades for 1/16 grout joints. Most tile in showers have 1/16 joints.

Be careful certain tiles it WILL CHIP EDGES!!

What if I got 1/16th spacing? Damn man. I'm still searching the best way

Easiest way to clean grout off the tile and cracks is to wipe it off when its still wet. Knock off your level clips the next day and you shouldn't have any that break. Ones that do break cut them with a utility blade.

LMAO!!! What a joke? Seems only people who don't actually work post videos. Removal of the thinset is quite easy. Simply wet it with a sponge and cut it out with a utility knife. This video has me and my co-worker laughing our arss off. Thanks for the comedy.
