Default help with slate

hi guys forgotten my password so have come into the guest area untill i get my log in sent to me
just got a couple of questions ,doing a slate floor wed for the first time what adhesive would be best ,the tiles are going onto a concrete floor in the kitchen
also not sure if the slate is calibreated or not so would you use more adhesive on the back to get the thinner slate to the same level as the rest,
any othertips for a newbie with slate would be great

Hi mate. I would sort all the tiles out into thicknesses first b4 you make a start. Use the thicker tiles first. Use spf addy and flexi grout not forgetting the slate sealer b4 and after grouting. It might also be worth washing the tiles down b4 fixing as they can be a bit mucky. Good luck

I feel the need, the need for speed!
