Use a flexible powdered adhesive suitable for porcelain tiles and it should stick no problem. But dare I ask why you want to do this?
As always, I recommed 25mm WBP for an ideal floor to tile onto when replacing floorboards; or 12mm WBP when overboarding. Have a look at the sticky thread for fixing details.

well i have experiance in boat making and i know that an epoxy coat aplied to a sheet of ply will make a waterproof seal for years to come.
now i wanna see if i can use this as a cheap solution to tanking a bathroom.
i know the ply and epoxy will work, if the tiles stick to the epoxy then i could have a cheap solution
any toughts?

Personally I would shy away from wall tiling onto ply in any wet situation due to the fact that it is inherently unstable with changes in atmospheric conditions. Tanked plasterboard would be better.
If you're talking about floors, then I would leave the decision up to you about the suitability of an epoxy "resin" - that's not what we generally do you see. Although I can say that a porcelain adhesive should stick fine to an epoxy resin, I cannot vouch for the ability of epoxy resin to provide a waterproof barrier. What I would say is that anything is better than nothing.

i had a look at the bal tanking products and its not much more expensive than epoxy so i think i will go with the trusted method 
as for the walls, can i use a tanking product straight onto the wall (raw plaster) or do i have to use tanked plasterboard?
you see, 10mm tile plus 10mm plasterboard, that will give me a 20mm jump where the painted wall ends and the tiled wall starts.
i would like to avoid this ip pos

You can tank onto a finish plaster only - not bonding/browning.
