[QUOTE="Rob Z, post: 169624"] Hi, I'm sorry if I was unclear...no, thinset is not used between wood panels....only an adhesive that is compatible with both of the wood products. If it is plywood-over-plywood then a wood glue such as Titebond can be used. If it is plywood-over-OSB it should be a urethane based glue. But it is current best practice to avoid the glue altogether between the panels. Only if glue is full spread (100% coverage) should any adhesive be used. I only mentioned the backer board because you were asking about it in your first post. For a two-layer system that you are talking about, in most cases I would use a membrane over the underlayment such as Schluter Ditra or Noble Company CIS. My Canadian tile setting friends at Harry Dunbar's tile forum tell me that Schluter is widely available in Canada, but the Noble company products are spotty on the availability. I prefer Noble CIS because it can be installed with their proprietary glue (NobleBond EXT). If you give me more info about your joists (span, size, species, etc) I can offer some suggestions about what might be appropriate. The one thing that the guys at harry Dunbar's forum tell me that is rampant in Canada is the use of "Scratch Coat" (nothing more than thinset skimmed over metal lath), which they tell me is horrible method, prone to massive failures. For some reason, it continues to be in wide use in Canada. I'm bringing it up just in case someone advises you to consider the method. [/QUOTE]
