What's the substrate under it - concrete, wood, some other cement like product? With concrete, removing the thin set revolves around scrapers or chisels - you can use a grinder but I would not recommend that due to dust, etc... Wood - same as above trying to go with the grain to help avoid tear-outs. A backer board - remove said backer-board to get down to the substrate
it is a concrete floor. I have tried using scrapers, but, it is really hard work and only removes a very little bit at a time. I just hoped there was another way. this will be a huge, tedious project.
I spoke with a contractor and his quote was $700 to remove the thin set, sand the concrete and apply a sealer. I think I will have to go with a pro and I'm sure he will have to use a grinder. Luckily, I can close off the room to cut down on the dust.
Thank you so much for responding to my inquiry. I really appreciate it.
