I understand that the grout is a major problem from the point of view of hygiene and harmful vapour. I am therefore surprised that you used such small tiles where, presumably, there would be more grout per surface area. Also you did not mention the grade of tile that should be used and appeared to be using standard wall tile grade which I understand is not strong enough. The video was most informative otherwise.

I would also like to know if I have a formica countertop, can I install tiles on top of that?

I keep seeing comments everywhere that when installing cement board you MUST install it to plywood using thinset mortar. At the same time, you are recommended to install a waterproof membrane over the cement board (in which case I don't understand how you would mortar the tile onto that.) Also, it seems to be acceptable to install tile directly to plywood for countertops. What I want to do is screw down plywood, put down tarpaper, screw 1/4" cement board to that, and then mortar the tiles to the cement board. How does that sound?

My counter top is a laminate. Can I install tiles over it, not having to remove the sink? Thanks!
