    tile adhesive on mapei tanking.

    Can someone recommend a good tile adhesive compatible with the mapei tanking? It needs to be applied about 6mm thick so the tiles overhang the shower tray (existing walls not that level). Does it need to be mapei adhesive? if so which one would you recommend? Many thanks Mark
