Default tile on tiles

Got a bit of tiling to do some of which is on top of some old tiles. They
are sound, anything I should do to them first or just carry on straight over
them. They were already tiled over but I have managed to remove the top
layer cleanly ready to start again! Also got to put some on a patch that has
just got render on it and not skimmed, should I PVA this first or will the
adhesive be fine without it. Many thanks

It won't hurt (dilute.) Also splash some on the tiles with a paint
brush.
Just flick it from a jam jar or whatever. Only small droplets are what
you need otherwise the drops will run off.
