|I am tiling a small half-bath with an area roughly a little over 4'x8'
| with ceramic tile. The old floor was plywood that was screwed and
| nailed to the subfloor. There is an area 51" by 13" where there is no
| plywood, just old wood flooring. The other wood flooring had been
| taken out and replaced with the plywood. The floor is solid with no
| bounce when jumped on. There is an elevation difference of less than
| 1/8".
| Questions: What can be done about the elevation difference or since
| it is so small, is it really a problem?

Do I need to use backerboard


no


| or can I use mastic directly over the wood?

mastic on a floor..............no
use thinset



If I use backerboard, can
| I just glue it for that small of a space?
