removing tile adhesive from drywall

[crupperb]

Hello all,
Every wall in my bathroom has plastic tile halfway up. The tiles are falling off but the adhesive is staying on the walls. I want to remove all the tiles and adhesive and do something different. I do not want to put up more tile. Is there anyway to get the adhesive off? Thanks, Benji.

Benji a little more info would help, is it in little lines like trowel marks, or s type lines like liquid nails?Is this over drywall, or plywood, or what.If it's drywall i doubt you can get it off, but scraping would be about the only way.

Thanks for responding Dave. The adhesive is over drywall. It is in little lines like trowel marks. Do you think the only way to remove it is by using a scraper? I assume you mean a razorblade scraper. Thanks, Benji.

I serously doubt you'll remove it without destroying the drywall, but yes i was thinking 4" scraper,but a new blade will gouge the drywall,maybe a drywall knife would work better, the 4",6" type.
