    Default 600 x 300 Ceramic tiles on Backer boards which adhesive! (sorry)

    Totally racking my brain here trying to figure this out after reading so many threads til the early hours of this morning!

    I'm using tile backer boards which are to be Dot & Dabbed and mechanically fixed to concrete walls.
    To my understanding Keraquick adhesive will be good to use (please confirm)

    One part of the room will be a wet area/room which will be tanked.

    Tiles used will be Ceramic 600x300. I've read Keraflex would be ok to use but on the net it says Floor Tiles and not Wall tiles.

    So what do I use? Would Keraflex be ok?
    My understanding is it needs to be flexible and have a reasonable fixing time.

    Sorry I know this has been asked so many times but my head is thumping trying to figure it out.
    Doesn't help having the backer boards delivered 2 days late

    Well I'm in no rush! Problem is this bathroom holds the only toilet and show/ bath in the whole bungalow and having 3 kids means doing sections at a time! I love DIY and have transformed the whole place...... bathroom is the last room I have to do!
