Best thinset to use for backsplash?
You do not want to use a mixing thinset for backsplash. you would want to use something a little stronger for walls, being a carpenter for 7 years i would use mastic tile adhesive. There are alot of advantages in using this product and the main reason is most of it is pre mixed. The mastic tile adhesive is an organically based mortar that is commonly used in the laying of ceramic tiles. This adhesive is made from the resin of the mastic tree and is available as a thin liquid, a paste, or a glue. Some common construction adhesives are a form of mastic resin. Using mastic as a tile adhesive does carry some advantages over mortar.1. Tremendous Holding StrengthMastic is used mostly with ceramic tile, but is also used with heavier materials such as stone and marble. This strength is the reason that many people will use a mastic tile adhesive in shower enclosures where there is a stone tile. If the seal remains the tile, then mastic adhesive will last for many years without any problems.2. Quick Setting Tile AdhesiveThe mastic tile adhesive is very quick setting. While this does have some drawbacks to it, it is also an advantage. Heavier tiles will set quicker so you can get more of the project competed.3. Easy to UseWhen spreading out over a backerboard to apply the tiles to, mastic tile adhesive is much easier to work with than mortar. Not being as thick, the mastic spreads out evenly and gives the tile a very good area to bond with.Read more: http://www.doityourself.com/stry/3-advantages-of-using-mastic-tile-adhesive/#b#ixzz23kIZTizw

When can you use mastic?
There are many different types and brands of mastic, so these are generalizations of it. Mastic is a form of tile setting material. Unlike thinset, it has a tacky quality and is meant to be used on wall tile not being put in a highmoisture area like a steam room or shower floor. Mastic should never be used with natural stone, tile larger then 8"x8" unless white clay 8"x10" or some variation of it. If you read the directions on the mastic it may say it can be used on the floor with tile up to 12 x 12. The issue is that those tile must be smooth backed. Almost no commercially sold tile is smoothed backed. There for, mastic can almost never be used on the floor. The advantage of mastic is its tacky texture. This allows the wall tile to not slide on the wall while you are installing. It is also a smooth consistency and makes it easier to spread for a novice. It is also commonly used in craft projects where tile is being put to table tops or a vase.

What is a good adhesive for ceramic tiles?
You should not adhere tile on top of tile. It is much better to rip it up and install on a secure surface and make sure it is smooth level. If you find yourself in a situation where you can not/should not remove the tile (e.g. if there is asbestos tile underneath or if there is a radiant heat systems under and you don't want to risk breaking/puncturing it), then the alternative is to pour 1/2" (or more) of self leveling cement and then install on top of that.
