Make sure you use a 1/2" or 1/4" cement board (wonder board or dura-rock) assuming you are going over existing plywood. Use a Flex-Bond (thinset mortar) to set your porcelain tile. Use a matching(to match the color of your tile) color sanded grout (min.3/16" groutline). Seal your grout lines with a good quality "grout sealer" anytime after 72hrs. of grouting.

Hi,

Tile adhesive is not water proof! you can water resist with it. Use TP tile adhesive or ARDEX Floor & Wall Tile Adhesives specially designed for porcelain tiles, it is really helps you.

Have a nice day!
