What Adhesive For Tiling Onto Plywood?

[Dazman]

All the pipework in my bathroom, behind the sink & toilet, is boxed in with plywood.

I want to tile over it - how should I prep the area and what type of adhesive should I use?

Cheers

Size of tiles? Have you read the sticky?

 

[Dazman]

Yep I read the sticky, it talked about tiling onto wooden floors but not wall tiles onto plywood. So I wondered if the adhesive for a wall application would be different.

They'll just be bog standard ceramic wall tiles not sure what size yet.

Read the instructions on the adhesive and follow them.

Thanks for the tip, when I work out what type adhesive to buy I'll be sure to read the instructions.

Have a look at Bal White Star or Blue Star.

Cheers for the info, I'll see if the local tile specialist stocks it.

Thanks again.
