Hi,
I have recently been re-modeling my apartment and specifically the bathroom. Whilst re-tiling it i had to spend a long time standing in the bath tub to reach certain walls. Unfortunately some of the adhesive found its way through the dust sheet i had put down and i'm left with a 5x5cm blob of adhesive stuck to the bottom of the tub.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to remove this without damaging the bath tub?
Thanks

you can see if it has a solvent listed that will disolve it. I have never been able to disolve silicone but don’t know about tile adhesive. If not it will need some type of scraping to get out. I often use a soapy razor blade when removing silicone shower edging and caulking but often see a scratch but better then leaving it. I also use a stainless steel scruby on plastic tubs to get small remainder but if used to much they scratch.

Typically, Mineral Spirits or Acetone will do the job very well. Just pour some onto the spot, wait a minute, pour some onto a good rag and wipe off.
There are 3 great Adhesive remover products, that will NEVER damage tile or Enamel, but will do the job just as well. Go to any hardware store and look for any one of these three. Liquid Nails adhesive remover, Motsenbokers (in the small tube), and Miracle Remover (which is almost all Acetone anyway) in a blue container.
