Large Format Tile Adhesive - some queries!

I'd use an 8mm notch trowel to stick the boards down, plus screws. I always tile the floor first but others tile the walls first and some tile the walls, leaving out the bottom row, then do the floor then fix the bottom row.
 
Thanks Rookery, and would the 8mm do the wall tiles too with the floor requiring slightly larger?
Happy New Year all!
 
It should/might, depending on how flat the walls are. Comb a trial area, stick a few tiles on then remove to check you're getting adequate coverage. Its good practice to skim the back of the tiles with adhesive too. You will need a bigger trowel for the floor 12mm and back skim the tiles here as well.
