    Keraflex on plywood

    Hi, I have bought Mapei Keraflex to lay slate tiles on a plywood base. Will I need to prime the plywood before using the Keraflex and if so which primer should I use? Some say I will need to use Primer S but others say that there is no need to with Keraflex. Thanks David Bass
