    Not without harming it. Slow job, lots of patience.

    Try soaking in very hot water to soften the thinset. Then scrape off.

  • Oh boy... sounds like a tedious job. I think the scraper is the way to go, but be careful of the metal not scratching the glaze on the tile below! I would try to soak the self leveler with water... that may soften it up a bit to make the scraping easier. I hope it is a small space!!
