    Ceramics on kitchen walls, tubbed adhesive

    Yes, this is what I'm doing today! No porcelain, polished or otherwise. No stone, no quartz, no sealers involved, no decoupling or levelling or days of prep. Just simple kitchen walls with plain old ceramics. Unbelievable. First time in almost a year I've used tubbed addy. :)
