Hi all,
I'm tiling a floor at the mo and have put down 12mm ply.
Do I need to prime the ply-wood before laying the tiles?

thanks in advance.

apparantly if you are using BAL then you dont prime the floor so check with the manufacturers guidelines.

It all depends on the manufacturer of the adhesive, some say yes and other say no.
