OK, I grinded the mortar off. One poster above recommended using a mesh tape? I haven't seen this used in tile installation videos available online. Is this an optional method? I did see a video where it was recommended to use thinset on top and mastic on the side surface.

The tile came loose because (1) I believe someone did stand on it and (2) there was a toilet that was too tall and we attempted to remove the tank lid when the toilet stopped flushing. There is a new toilet now, of proper height.

Hi. A whole row of edge tiles came loose on our bathroom counter top. I removed the tiles in order to reattach them. My understanding is, I need to remove the old adhesive. When I try to remove the adhesive, it looks like it takes out chunks of the backerboard (see pics). How do I remove it...

So it's not necessary to coat that edge with anything? Just seal the sink with silicone caulk?

I am replacing a rusted bathroom sink. After removing the old sink, I see that there is some substance covering the edge of the sink cutout. What is it? Thanks.

Yes, just seems like it's excessive noise in this case.

I have a Mixet shower faucet. It makes a whooshing noise only when the water is flowing through the spout. If I divert the water to the shower, there is no noise. I replaced the stem and handles, but it did not affect the noise. What could be the cause? Thanks.
