Don't do stupid jobs for stupid people.
You'll end up stupid.

Right got to the bottom of it. It's 3 coats of clear yacht varnish.
The main bathroom was done the same 3 years ago and it's solid.
He wants it done so it's getting done with the bal addyou

its a risk,
but, if you are going to do it regardless of the possible consequences, then at least try and get some form of signed evidence that you suggested the correct method. that way if there are any future problems, you have some form of back up.

Be careful with disclaimers or waivers. They are virtually worthless. If it went wrong and the customer then pays you to do it again properly, congratulations you dodge a bullet. But if they don't agree to pay again and they take it further, a court would look at your disclaimer, and say "We have it in writing that you knew it was wrong, but you did it anyway". Customer approval or not. your chances of talking that one round are slim to none.

If you haven't got a suitable surface to tile onto, you shouldn't tile it. Cover your back and do the prep. If they don't want that, walk away and let someone else carry on.

Although looking at the past posts and times, I guess you've already gone in and done it by now.

Disclaimers do not give you total cover BUT they can at least be used as some form of evidence if a failure ends up in court. Obviously if you do something that's deemed as a danger to the customer/public then you ain't got a leg to stand on. If you do a job that could run the risk of failure ie not 100% guaranteed and a client signs to say they accept that risk, then a court 'may' accept that you are working for the client but they are responsible regarding the final decison.

anyway, there are so many variables so it's best to do what I do which is to use a solicitor for law issues and a tiler for tiling.

I tiled features in a pub a few years ago, single tiles (600x300) around the bar, I didn't realise there was varnish on the wood & the tiles came off as clean as a whistle.
Had to strip the varnish off & redo it.
I wouldn't tile to that with any adhesive..
