Well being new to this forum, All i can say is the blood sweat and tears id correct, Just finished removing tile from my alfa. I read on here " propane" is the way to go, and i will say that is true. Heated the tile till it "pops" the an electric hammer drill with a 2 in wide chisel . Walla . The to the mastic , flap disc on angle grinder. Dirty and dusty but it worked with alot less effort.
