Flexi addy, is there all different grades to this or is it all same. I've a few bags of kalekim c2 flexi addy and wanted to know will this be OK for bonding a showertray to 18mm wbp ply after priming with 918 primer. Same for tiles on a screwd 9mm wbp ply for floor. Wondering should I just buy different addy or just use this flexi addy

Never heard of it but you get different classifications of adhesive.
I would check the technical on the back of the bag to make sure 9mm ply is thick enough.
I very rarely tile to ply, I would ditch the ply & overboard with Hardie 250, 6mm.

The 9mm ply will be screwd onto 12mm floorboards. IMO, its thick enough and another thing, don't want to raise the floor to much tbh because if I use 12-18mm with tiles, it'll be over an inch raised. Isn't the 6mm Hardie twice the price?

Price WBP ply against Hardie & there won't be much difference.
If you have a failure fixing to 9mm ply then it falls back onto you as most of your adhesives recommend a 15mm overlay, check what it says on the bag.
I don't think plus a very good surface to in this day & age, far better products to fix to out there that doesn't come with the grief of fixing to ply.

Stores near me only have 12mm cement board and if I choose this, I'll be well over the saddleboard at door when floor is finished.
