Correct Tile Adhesive

[Alan McNally]

Ok, I've decided to lift the ply and replace with a backer board. Just a quick question, I was looking at the 6mm marmox board. There are a lot of posts advising the boards to be fixed to the sub floor using both adhesive and screws but the marmox instructions say adhesive OR screws so I was just going to screw it down. Is this ok?

Thanks.

The adhesive will fill any voids and make a much better job..

Ok Andy thanks. Can you please recommend the correct adhesive for bonding the backer boards to the tounge and groove and also would I still use an S2 type adhesive for bonding the tiles or would this be overkill?

Thanks again.

Any cement based adhesive to stick down the boards it doesn't have to be expensive as it's just to fill in the voids just make sure you screw them down as well.
And yes I would still use an S2 type of adhesive to tile.
