[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 322255, member: 85"]I have seen those ridges on the backs of tiles from Mexico. If you were to peel the paper off of one there may be a mark on the back. The paper was probably put on to keep it from scratching the wall. And you can always put another piece of paper back on. [ATTACH=full]107337[/ATTACH] If I were going to take the paper off, I would lay a damp ([B]not[/B] soaking wet) paper towel over the paper and leave it for half an hour. Then come back and try and lift it off. I would not soak the tile as it may be unbaked and water might damage it. Wait for other suggestions before trying this. I might be wrong in how to go about taking the paper off.[/QUOTE]
