I am going to lay a Uni-Mat underlayment. What should I use to adhere it to my plywood.

The Tile Shop sai to use Thin Set. I was thinking something more of an adhesive.....but what do I know?

Is Thin Set OK to use?

Any information is helpfule and appreciated.

Thinset....

This product is an uncoupling membrane not unlike Schluter DITRA.

Typically,the Ditra use's a latex modified thinset between the plywood/OSB subfloor to it's fleece bottom.

Sound's like this Blanke product is virtually a carbon copy.
