Tile Installation Over Linoleum

Is it recommended to install Tile over Linoleum assuming the Linoleum glued down perfectly to a concrete subfloor?

Re: Tile Installation Over Linoleum

I think you could guarantee the installation if you installed tapcons through the center or each tile.

YUP! Thought so!

It's been said a million times but can never be said enough; "Anyone and everyone that took part in the rescue and recovery of that fiasco is to be commended for eternity.

Thank You All.
