some of the resin manufacturers say you should use a 2 part adhesive as the tiles can bow.

when you take the tiles up see if they have bowed and check what adhesive the manufacturer recommend.

I personally wouldn't use a SPF adhesive with these tiles.

That does make sense, these tiles were slightly bowed when fixing them, not by much but enough that the tile would be flush on all corners but then lipping in the middle by 2mm, ill bare that in mind for future, thanks.

Hi Faithhealer...The same with me...lost a few floors because I wouldn't quote with 6mm ply and always priced for hardibacker. I'd rather do a job right than have to to it twice (the 2nd time would have to be at my expense too)!! Its not worth the hassle or bad reputation when your job goes wrong. Heard today of a builder who does his own tiling...using 5 dots of.....................silicon...doh

You are right but not just any 2 part adhesive.. it should be a polyurethane type 2 part adhesive.. as in no water additive... Some of these cheaper conglomerate tiles do not like the water from the adhesive or heat applied to them..
