I have plywood subfloor, do I need to put down a vapor barrier first?
That is in this sequence:
Do I do #2 for the vapor barrier above or not?
Thanks
Why don't you just slop on a coat (maybe 2) of the cheapest polyurethane varnish you can find on the plywood? Once cured hard, go over the high spots with an orbital sander, fill in with Bondo where needed, recoat where necessary, and you will have the perfect substrate for your tile. The thinset will have something to better than wood fibers grab on to. you'll have your vapor barrier for control and save hours and hours and $$ too. HTH
