ABSTRACT:
A tile adhesive removal system having a handle, or tool, and one or more removable tips. When applying ceramic tiles, one should remove any excess adhesive in the channel between an existing tile and a tile currently under application. A properly-sized tip is selected for a particular channel width, and is removably attached to the handle. The handle and tip together may remove any excess adhesive from the channel between tiles, and then may be easily cleaned for use in applying the next tile. The size of the handle and tip together is large enough so that the cleaning process is relatively simple for the user. The removal system may have an orienting element, so that the tip is not inserted upside down, and may have an attachment element, such as one or more bumps that engage one or more corresponding detents.
