I have a laminate countertop that is flat and in good condition. I want to be able to lay tile directly over this surface. I’ve heard pro’s and con’s on this but because of adjacent height resritictions I would like proceed with this method. Does the laminate need to be scuffed up first? What type of adhesive, thinset or mastic, would be the best choice? With or without polymers? I’m considering using a two part epoxy grout, which should not only resist stains better but should be water resistant as well.
