Good morning, hope everyone is well, just looking for a little advice, Just wondered after sealing the walls, what type of tile adhesive could I use on the type of wall in the picture, would a good quality ready mix be ok?
using standard metro tiles, brick bond pattern, many tanks

It looks like your skim coat has de-bonded. Clean up all loose areas and prime with acrylic primer 3:1 ratio and then skim/key the walls in with a bagged cement based adhesive, then you can proceed to tile with same adhesive once dried. The background isn’t stable enough as it is.
