norcros ultim8+ tubbed adhesive

[Doingmybest]

Hi Guys
I recently bought 600x300 wall tiles direct from Johnsons and the above adhesive is what they advised and sold to me. I queried it and they insisted it was the correct one. Just wanted opinions on this as a 6mm trowel doesn't seem much adhesive for such a large tile.
Thanks for your help

Hi , those tiles are tooooo big for a tubbed dispersion adhesive. Take it back and get a standard set cement based bagged adhesive.

Thanks Dave, what adhesive would you recommend?
I had a tiler tell me the tubbed would be fine yesterday, is it just not strong enough?
Thanks again

No the tiles are to big , the adhesive won’t dry thoroughly , max for tubbed is 300x300 and must have absorbent back ground. Deffo cement based required.

Thanks again Dave. What's the best cement based adhesive?

Depends what your suppliers sell , a C2TE will be fine.

Spot on, thanks. Will a 10mm square notch trowel do the job? I'm planning on bb the tiles too
