I found this forum a little while ago and you guy have some wonderful advice!
I'm planning to tile my bathroom using Ditra as an underlayment. I've pulled up the linoleum but, of course, there's now a layer of annoying glue I have to get off. Although it's been taking forever, I've been dampening it with water and it's been coming up. Sweet.
Now the question. Does the plywood have to be completely dry before I start applying the ditra? or can it still be a little damp? I'm finding myself in a major time crunch and I don't think I can wait a day or two for it to dry before I start putting stuff down. Seems to me that the thinset would wet the floor anyways so it wouldn't really matter. But, of course, I'm the novice here and that's why I'm asking you experts :)
Thanks!
