I'm about to tile a number of walls and floors. I've done a little tiling before but only with smaller tiles so I'd like to check I'm getting the adhesive thickness right for larger tiles;
600x300 porcelain on a wall (one is part of a shower), is an 8mm towel to leave a 4mm thickness of adhesive enough or not enough?
The same tiles on the floor I've thinking I should use a 12mm towel to leave a 6mm thickness of adhesive. Again enough or not enough?

What are your thoughts?
Thanks
