Hi, I have purchased some tiles online and was going to stick them up this weekend but my friend told me a shouldn't use the adhesive in the tub I bought from wickes, because the tiles are too big, but when I asked wickes they said it would be ok, not sure what advise is best can anyone help, I found this page by googling tile advice so i'm sure someone can tell me. Thank you.

Hi
We need to know the size and type of tile you are fixing and what you are fixing to and is it a wet area?- then we can advise you correctly.

Thank you for helping, the tiles are Montbello wall tiles, i bought them from total tiles https://totaltiles.co.uk/montebello-carrara-wall-tile.html and the adhesive that I bought is this one Wickes Waterproof Wall Tile Adhesive 10L | Wickes.co.uk - http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Waterproof-Wall-Tile-Adhesive-10L/p/230626 it is a bathroom with a shower in so I guess that's what you mean by a wet area?

Yes, too big really for dispersion (tubbed) adhesive. Basically it relies on the adhesive drying out rather than a chemical reaction as cement based adhesive does. Pick up some bagged cement based standard setting tile adhesive instead.

Ok thank you all, It's a bit trickier than I originally thought, I found these where I bought the tiles (is this what you mean) Standard Set Flexible Plus White Floor & Wall Tile Adhesive S1 Grade - https://totaltiles.co.uk/standard-set-flexible-plus-white-floor-wall-tile-adhesive-s1-grade.html but I can't find it locally and to buy from web is expensive delivery charges., I have found this one when i searched web Topps Tiles White Slow Set Wall & Floor Adhesive | Topps Tiles - http://www.toppstiles.co.uk/tprod40426/topps-tiles-white-slow-set-wall-and-floor-adhesive.html is it ok? I'm beginning to think it maybe easier to get a tiler, how much would it cost roughly, my father measured it and we ordered 19 square meters for the walls. Thanks for your help guys.
