Which tile adhesive makes are recommended for thin porcelain tiles? And are tile adhesive manufacturers making adhesives specifically for thin porcelain tiles these days?

What was the last adhesive make you used with huge porcelain tiles? Did the adhesive company verify the specification or doesn't it really matter as long as the coverage is still 100%?

I would be going with TileMaster.
Top of the pile is ultimate S2 but you can fit them with setaflex S1.

This is an area I have trouble with, trying to full bed and fit ex large format with rapid set is madness,
can't see how it's the right way.

Do you stick to the usual mixing instructions or make the mix thinner?

Do tend to have it on the wetter side, but no more than 5-10% extra.
If it's too dry, it grabs too quick and you can't work it in to ensure full bedding.
