I would wash and scrub it with warm water. You'll probably be able to feel where it still is with your fingers. If that works then let it dry then prime with APD. No guarantee with this suggestion but that is what I would do. Good luck | ||||||||||

You will probably not get rid of the PVA now, as any sort of cleaning may harm the ply. You'll just have to tile and hope for the best this time. In future use a good acrylic bonding paste. The PVA sits on the surface and does not penetrate, unlike acrylic which soaks in and seals. | ||||||||||
