What thinset would be the best for a longer work time before its setting up for a beginner to use? its a large shower 60x74x96

Thanks

I am removing linoleum flooring (over osb) so I can tile my second bath. I am sanding all the adhesive off the osb but found a divit so to speak in the osb. They filled it with some sort of patch. Is this something thinset can take care of (prolite) or do I need to use a self leveling compound.

I'm not sure if I asked this. I have 2+ bags of Allset leftover as that is what I used for my pan, membrane, and sheets of hex tile on the floor of the shower. The walls will be 12"x24" tiles (laid in a vertical subway).

Will Allset be good for this, or do I need to use ProLite or a Laticrete large format tile to set the wall? Shower is 70" on the long wall and 35" on the two short walls, and I am going just under 9' to the ceiling. I can return the two unused bags of Allset if necessary. I know some of it is preference. But obviously while these tiles are not Extra large format at 12"x24" I wanted to make sure to use the right Thinset for the project.

Did i miss some change? I bought FLO FX shower supplies and the NO FLO membrane by linear foot at TileCoach.com and now the links are all directing to FLOFX web site? I am just getting ready to add a grate so it's no big deal but I hope Isaac is still selling the NO FLO membrane direct by linear foot for the rest of you. I am scraping the bottom of the piggy bank and the custom length of NO FLO membrane saved me a bundle. Thanks Isaac

From the right wall to the inside edge of the niche is 15 1/4". From the left wall it is 15 3/4", will this cause a layout issue?

Also leaving a full tile (12×24) on the top row will leave a 5 3/4" tile for the first row, is that acceptable?

Hi there. So, just an average Joe homeowner redoing our shower and have a question concerning the mortar shower pan I just put in, for the second time. First go around, top was crumbly and wasn't satisfied. I put down the initial thinset slurry on slab and I'm thinking the mix was probably on the dry side. Anyway, hammered it up, which also came up pretty easy.

I took it down an inch and Quickcrete recommended the acrylic fortifier since was going to be about an inch. I didn't do the thinset slurry this time as the instructions said the fortifier was also a bonding agent. The pan turned out nice and smooth and was super satisfied until i started knocking on the pan and it sounded hollow. I tapped around the whole pan with a soft mallet and then tapped around with a hammer and then stomped around …
