I want to tile the bathroom. It was originally painted with a vynal

It is laid directly on the plaster and if as I fear it will have to be

rip off anything lose where you want to tile and tile.


I wouldnt even think about tiling onto anything thats at risk of
coming off. Tiling lasts decades, the substrate has to last decades
too.

If you can hold a tile with a couple of dots,. then overall adhesion is
not that important


either the paint peels of. so peel it. Or it doesnt. So dont!
