One Day
Some brands of adhesive, recommend submerse a few seconds, in water the tiles.
as I do.
It's warmer in Italy though.
Here it is normally cold.
Wet and cold.
Very wet and very cold

One Day
The only time tiles are supposed to be wet here, is on the very very rare days when it gets warm!
Honestly, I've never seen any advice from manufacturers advising soaking tiles.
I wipe the back of ceramics with a wet sponge to get dust off, never really considered the absorption thing until now!

Just wanted to say big thank you to all who commented and made suggestions.
After following your advise floor is down and rock solid (well with a little flexibility from the flex adhesive lol)
Only thing I didn't use the lash level clips as I had to lift the tile slightly to get the clips under and I felt like it was compromising the adhesion somewhat. Luckily the floor was nice and level so even spread on the adhesive gave me no lipage so to speak.
Thought I would post a picture
