For tiles of that size you need to be using powder adhesive. Tubbed adhesive dries by evaporation and with such large tiles it will take a long long time (if ever) to set.hi all need advice is the green star bal strong enough for a bathroom me tiles are 450mm by 315mm and on tub it saying 300 by3oo !! or is that a guide cheers

Simple answer to your question - No it is not!
thanks james ive swopped the green star over to bal brown powdered bag high strength ive only got plasterboard 12mm where toilets boxed in which primed with unibond!!! but rest of walls are the oldsandy render on breeze blockAs the others have said, use a cement based (powder) adhesive for tiles over 300x300mm.
If you are going on to plasterboard then,
2 coats of neat BAL APD primer the fix with,
Single Part Flexible (white, if you are using a light coloured grout)
that will give you a 5hr pot life, so plenty of working time with it.

Nik, I've never heard of BAL Brown Bag:huh2:
We do not recommend the use of PVA with tilling, which i think Unibond is.
I'm not sure what you can do about that now though. Maybe Gaz or Danny will have an idea on that?
As for your render, as long as it is sound, just prime it with BAL APD.
If it needs patching, use BAL Quickset Render. That can be tiled on after 2hrs if need be.
Possibly, or maybe the Natural Stone adhesive, which is bagged for Topps.Does he mean goldstar do u think..?..
