Im wanting to lay tile directly against plywood in an entryway and dont have time to check archives (I know,I know) will check back in couple of hours ( Im at jobsite now) for what tipe of mortar or mastic to use. I always try to use some sort of backerboard but space requirements wont allow this time. Trying not to cut out the floor.

*Chris! don't know if you'll get this in time- USE BONSAL tm. MULTI PURPOSE THIN SET. specifically states on bag use over plywood. I posted the tile problem and relaid with this product. NO PROBLEMS
