Not likely that the tiles will crack but the grout will. Why? Because

mastic instead of thinset. Either that or put down - and mechanically
fastened - cement board on top of the lino/vinyl.


Rip up what you did and do it right.


What's the difference between mastic and thinset? Also, if I install
the orange Shuluter sheet on the other half of the bathroom, would it
help to eliminate the problem? Thanks.
