8 or 10mm and back butter the tile.

All depends on how flat your walls are.

Thanks for the quick reply,
walls are a mix of hardiebacker / mr plasterboard and 1 wall in sand cement. the S&C is new and very flat.
Think i will go with 10mm

How new is s&c. Give it time to fully dry

I've been told no less than 2 weeks.

Brilliant. All sounds good.

12mm trowel. 8mm trowel is far too small for that tile size, if you want full coverage

10mm or 12mm dependent on flatness of wall and also back butter the tile
