Adhesive

[MarkG1]

I'm about to tile a number of walls and floors. I've done a little tiling before but only with smaller tiles so I'd like to check I'm getting the adhesive thickness right for larger tiles;
600x300 porcelain on a wall (one is part of a shower), is an 8mm towel to leave a 4mm thickness of adhesive enough or not enough?
The same tiles on the floor I've thinking I should use a 12mm towel to leave a 6mm thickness of adhesive. Again enough or not enough?

What are your thoughts?
Thanks

I think it's enough as long as adhesive is in super-flexible category.

Thanks for the reply. When you say super flexible category you're talking about the floor adhesive aren't you?

Of couse, anything from C2TE and above. Ideal super flexible is classifed as C2TE S1, and it is a good standard when it comes to floor gres porcelain tiles above 0,36 m2.
