|  Tiling onto Plywood | |
Have a job to do where the old kitchen wall tiles have been removed and some of the plaster has come away too. I was thinking the quickest wasy would be to screw 6mm plywood to the wall and tile onto that - nice even surface. What is the best primer to use before tiling? Tiles are just normal 100mm ceramic. Any other preperation required also?
