    Default Plywood Boxing

    I will be tiling a bathroom which has the boxing done in plywood I was thinking of using BAL White Star to fix the tiles would you guys recommend something else?
    Also because it is on plywood what grout would you use baring in mind it will be coloured. The client has asked for Dunlop Ivory.

    600 x 300 ceramic in brick bond. The area to cover is not great for example shower waste is a boxing of 6"x 4" and behind the sink approx 3ft x 4ft wide

    I'd go for a cement based addy like

    BAL Single Part Flexible
    A flexible, non-slip, water-resistant and frost-resistant wall and floor tile adhesive, especially suitable for fixing tiles, including fully vitirfied and porcelain tiles to low porosity backgrounds/bases. Suitable for use on concrete/brick/block walling, cement:sand rendering, plaster, plasterboard, cement sheets, tile backer boards, concrete bases, cement:sand screeds, plywood overlay, ceramic/quarry tile/terrazzo/hard natural stone, vinyl tiles/sheet bases, mastic asphalt. Conforms to BS EN 12004, Type C, Class 2T.

    Bal white star is fine ,if you have a tub of bal white star handy use that, its only a small area dont see point of mixing adhesive for such a small area.
