HI
I want to tile onto a wooden board and use it as a bath panel, do i need to paint the wood with any paint, primer etc before tiling? i have already tried this without painting the wood but the tile adhesive didnt take.
Thanx

Use ply at least 9mm thickness and support all round and with a couple of vertical struts. Then as catso says. Use a flexible tile adhesive or put some additive into the adhesive to increase the flexibility.
