Hi

I've recently built a roof terrace at the end of a loft extension, its around 8m2

I built the roof using 7" timber with a 300mm spacing. This was then lined with 18mm OSB. The roofers have put a Cromar GRP top coat ontop of the OSB.

I have some 20mm x 800mm x 600mm natural slate tiles I want to lay on the GRP.

Here is a short video of the space:

The roof is really solid with no movements at all. I was hoping that I can lay the tiles directly on to the GRP. So my questions are:

What adhesive should I use?
How do you prepare that GRP? (ie, acetome? sand to make a key?)
The tiles are heavy and I'd like to do this myself. Any advice?

Thanks!
Colin
p.s. i have very little tiling experience
