Why would you tap the tile if you are tyring NOT to crack them! You can safely remove the tiles in question without breaking them by carefully tapping out the grout line around the tiles in question. Tap and scrape the grout out. Next, you will want to get a small hand chizzzzzle with a nice beveled end on it. SLOWLY and LIGHTLY tap the point of contact with the tile and the wall at a slight angle. You might nick the wall a little but since your tiles will cover it up you can fill it in when the tiles are off and as you re-prep before re-tiliing. I just got done doing this very same project when we replaced the fixtures in ym mother's bathroom. We didn't lose one tile. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:143100 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
