How to get tile adhesive off the bottom of my tub... nail polish remover is NOT working. ?

if your tub finish is porcelain, you can use a putty knife to scrape or chip it off. if you scratch the tub finish, get a pumice stone and clear the scratches off by wet rubbing with stone and rinsing clean. may have to find pumice stone at hardware or actual plumbing supply. works on any porcelain ( toilets, sinks, tubs, etc.)How to get tile adhesive off the bottom of my tub... nail polish remover is NOT working. ?
If it is a cast iron tub, you could try nail polish remover or a liquid paint stripper, you could also try a heat gun. If it is a steel or fiberglass tub you can try to use a putty knife, but I suspect that you will damage the tub surfaces. Anything you do should be tested in a small area to see if it works and how much damage is causesHow to get tile adhesive off the bottom of my tub... nail polish remover is NOT working. ?
If it's sticky... simple vegetable oil, or even something oily like peanut butter or mayonnaise will do the trick without damaging your tub.





If it's dried, you may have to gently chip it off, without damaging the tub.
Goof off is great stuff. Lighter fluid works well for adhesive also.
Get some paint thinner, it'll work wonders! ;) Or, if you can't get ahold of that, try goo gone.
try lacquer thinner,just make sure the room is well vented
