A:  Alice, the laminate will at least need to be significantly roughed up to ensure anything will stay adhered to it. You would really hate for the tile to delaminate in the future. Even slight amounts will cause the grout to crack and crumble. There are two options. (1) A long-term lasting solution is as follows.  What I have done for clients is to apply 1/4” cement board over the laminate. I attach the cement board with both construction adhesive and screws after the countertop has been cleaned with acetone. ** Read, understand an follow the directions on the can.  Alternately, you can aggressively sand the laminate with 60 grit sandpaper. Then vacuum up ALL of the dust. Then apply two coats of “Red Guard” and tile as usual. You will probably only add 2 hours of work by choosing the first option. Good luck and have fun. 

A:  It would be better to remove the laminate. It is considered a low energy substrate so getting things to stick and stay is tough. Traditional tile mastics will have trouble adhering much less also adhering the tile. A solvent based adhesive might work but I would be worried about long term durability and the adhesive becoming brittle in warm areas especially around areas like a stove

A:  I've done it and it worked just fine. I did use a rotary sander with heavy duty sand paper to prepare the laminate. The counter needs to be very stable and seams need to be filled and sanded flat. Find videos on YT for tips.

A:  We found a cardboard box of the right thickness and cut pieces of that to make spacers.

A:  Hello, Thank you for your question, the recommended grout joint is 1/8”. Hope this will help!
