With porcelain tiles that size and span your floor really needs to be very level mate to avoid 'lips' protruding once laid

BAL Bond SBR

A waterbased polymer with a wide variety of uses in the construction industry, particularly as an admixture and bonding agent for cement and concrete applications. Once cured, the polymer is water and frost resistant. BAL BOND SBR can be used as a slurry coat when mixed with hydraulic cement or gypsum plaster, as a multi-purpose admixture for cement:sand mortars, concrete and gypsum plaster; as a brush applied primer, sealer or dustproofer.

Suitable for use on cement:sand screeds, toppings or renderings, plastering, waterproofing, bonding, concrete repair, priming and sealing.That would be my choice.....Gaz

similar job to my one at the moment - although just been to docs due to pain in wrist and swelling and told i have tendonitious!! bummer. still 45sq.m to lay!!!
anyhow, for a cutter i thoroughly recommend the big clinker from screwfix for £80 - no problem cutting 450mm porcelain at all, will deal with 600mm easy i reckon
