I find adhesive fine for walls, especially in kitchens where there is no
water spray as you get in a shower. I only use thinset for shower areas and
where I have to match other levels where I have used thinset. The adhesive
will work fine on semigloss if you sand the surface to add a little tooth
for the glue to stick to.

Any suggestions on how to tile a painted wall? It's in a kitchen, painted
in semi-gloss. How about if I just scratch up the wall surface really
well: can I then use thinset directly on the wall?

Replies from those with actual experience setting tile especially
appreciated.
