What's underneath the existing tiles? You will be looking at something like BAL CTF3 with admix 1 if the existing tiles are glazed or maybe Mosaic-fix. For Ardex adhesives try X7G Plus. All these have about 5hrs in the bucket.
Make sure you do adequate prep of the existing tiles to ensure they are secure and clean/degreased.

Re: best ady to use on floors,but not quick setting
I've spent ages trying different brands of floor adhesive and i've sacked off most of them because i can't be bothered to keep cleaning out buckets because the adhesive has set to quick. This time of year i try to avoid rapid st. I use porcelanosa one-flex for most things. It lasts ages in the bucket and is good for walls aswell as floors. Just don't expect to grout that day though. not always possible

Try Mapei keraflex-it has a long open time in the bucket and is good to work with.

Agree with Brian on this 1. Used it last week and was impressed. Had no water in the house i was working on,so used this for bucket life and liked it.
