I don't mean to kill the mood, but get a refund, that adhesive is crap, one of the most unreliable out there in my opinion, tell the shop you gait a tiler and he insisted in supplying his own materials. Let us know what else you can get your hands on and we'll keep you right!
 
Ah buggar! All shops around here seem to mainly stock Dunlop adhesives.

I can get a limited range of mapei which I used the last time but it's a long journey to get. Keraflex I used before which tbh was nice to use in my limited experience!

Maybe I should make the trip to get mapei again and then primer g would be suitable too?

Dunlop is alright gear, it's under the BAL umbrella. Basically BAL gear for the diy market. Don't think they do a 2part slc but their leveller flows quite nice. Using Dunlop you could do as you suggested yourself, mix a slurry coat and level over that. Once the leveller is dry you could prime before fixing but isn't strictly necessary, though if you're using a fast set you'll find it gives you a little more adjustment time. Agree with comment re Larsen, used it once and swore never again.

Ballymoney! There's two tile shops local to me that sell dunlop. When I got mapei gear before I got it in armatile on Boucher.
Your bound to be about Belfast now and again. In the scheme of things it's well worth the trip, just phone them and make sure they have the renovation screed there for you, as Gary says it's a super leveller
