Tub Refinisher
Tub refinisher
Well I finished my re-grouting job. Since my Fein Multimaster was stolen, I bought a new Porter Cable oscillating tool and 2 diamond bits (one came with it) to do the job. Everything was fine until about 2/3 of the way through, when my brand new tool starting making a horrible noise, and the blade was vibrating terribly. Upon inspection I found that the quick change mechanism that holds the blade in place was defective, and was no longer able to hold the blade in place properly. On top of that, I couldn't even get the blade out of the unit! I thought Porter Cable was supposed to be decent quality, but... I took it back today and got a refund. Now I'm shopping for a new unit, and input would be appreciated.
Anyway, that's not the reason for the thread. While removing the tile, the tool slipped in a few places and while it didn't cut the tile, it left a few black marks on the white ceramic tile that I cant get off. I've tried everything I had: grout cleaners, tile cleaners, mild acid cleaner, barkeepers friend (which normally take black marks off of bathtubs when nothing else works), acetone, lacquer thinner, you name it. It's actually a very slight scratch that is black. Any ideas from you pros on what might take it off? Bleach maybe? I have to go back next week to resurface that bathtub, and I told him I'd find something to use by then. HELP!!!
