Ref tubbed vs bagged. Invest in a cheap electric mixer and bagged is just as convenient, dries in hours and you can be sure it'll still be there in 1 year!

there is no contest going on here re bags or tubs,powder is far superior,however there is still a market for tubs,as I say for splash backs it is dynamite
im doing a bathroom at the minute with small ceramics and white star,I'm comfortable to give my guarantee no problem

Don't think this can be said of white star,it's a ******* to get off
kitchen splash back is only time I use tubbed

Think what we need to know about tubbed addy is the difference between a D1 & D2 adhesive.
A D1 addy (Greenstar) will break down with water.
A D2 addy (WhiteStar) will not break down with water.
As long as the tile isn't over 300mm square then tubbed addy is fine as long as used properly.

A lot of people turn their nose up at tubbed but there is a time & place for it.
I very rarely use tubbed as I can't be bothered having loads of different gear in the van.
I carry TileMaster SetaFlex white & SetaFlex rapid grey in the van & that covers most jobs.
