Re: never tiled before advice needed
Hi,
general rule of thumb is that Tubbed adhesive is not right for size of tiles (if I am wrong on this I am sure somebody will be along shortly 
).
What are the tiles - ceramic, porcelain or....
Cheers

According to Mapei spec this adhesive is suitable but primer not needed.

Re: never tiled before advice needed
the tiles should be as tight as you can get in the corner without them touching!
