Porcelain tile over old plaster wall
Hardee Family
12 days ago
Planning to tile kitchen backsplash that has plaster walls in most areas except for behind the stove where there is wood/panel board. The plaster appears to be in good shape. We have patched holes caused from removing the old mirror backsplash. Can we lay porcelain tile directly over plaster and panel board and if so what type of thinset would be best to use?
