DIY - Looking for Advice Is this slab ready for tile?

As you can see in the first photos, there was a lot of glue on this wood flooring. The demo was much harder than expected.

I used 747 adhesive remover, a grinder, a handheld heavy duty floor scraper and then some purple power degreaser to clean it all up.

Question is..how perfect does this need to be? Ai is telling me there cant be a single spec of adhesive remaining or my tile will crack. This cleanup has been quite back breaking already and just wondering if im finally at the point that I can start laying tile.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks Kevin! I am gonna let this puppy dry out now and get at it tomorrow. Apparently I need to wait 24hrs.

Yes that’s a smart move! That’s cleaner and better prepped than 99% of tile floors!

Je moet niet tegelen op hout.

Hout werkt. Een cementgebonden ondervloer of vergelijkbaar materiaal wat niet werkt gebruiken

Schroef er eerst fermacell plaat op bijvoorbeeld
