Default Stick ceramic tiles straight onto thinnish plasterboard?

@hurricane:

I wouldn't go overboard on the waterproofing. The tiles/grout are
normally sufficient because the water is running off too fast to allow
penetration. It's the joint with the shower tray that causes problems,
and using silicone instead of tile adhesive for the bottom row is one
solution.


That's an idea. I have some fancy plastic angled strip that fits unter the
bottom row of tiles that nicely seals the gap between the bath and the
tiles. Not sure how to deal with the corner though, as the stuff won't go
round corners! I will figure something out.
