Kitchen Tiling - which adhesive for a novice

[crimond]

Hoping to tile my kitchen splash back this weekend and was wondering what adhesive would be best to use.

I'm a novice and would prefer ready mixed.
Screwfix do a decent range of Dunlop adhesives, are these any good.

Any help would be great.

Not too sure on the Dunlop range mate, bit I tiled my kitchen this weekend and I used the BAL Blue Star which is a ready mix and very easy to use.

What tiles are you fitting and what are the walls like/made of?

Dunlop adhesives are adequate for a splashback if it is just general ceramics and not too large a format. Dunlop owned by BAL incidently!

Go for the waterproof one if you want to be doubly sure, but as Sean 384 says, BAL blue star would be fine also.

just 150x150mm ceramic tiles. Walls are plaster.

Any general purpose water resistant adhesive should suffive, you may want to consider priming the plaster as well though it wouldn't really be neccessary with the BAL stuff.

Here is a bit of info from the Dunlop website
