Cleaning grout and tile adhesive off old tiles
I have resued some old wall tiles which I would like to clean up and reuse. Before I start experimenting with old chisels, shave hooks, etc, does anyone know of a good way to get the old grout and adhesive off?

If the adhesive is cemetious type then use an angle grinder with either a grinding disc or a diamond blade in it. It'll be dirty and dusty.
If the adhesive is flexiable/rubbery/contact type then experiment with various thinners.

There are plenty of adhesive/grout removing chemicals on the market, available from anywhere that sells tiles. Dont know if they are any good though

Soak them in hydrochloric acid...try a few first though to see if they will discolour.
