I have nearly finished cleaning up and sealing 300 reclaimed 6 inch quarries that are 1 inch thick, they will be laid on a concrete slab, the bed i need is about 12 -13 mm thick , to achieve this thickness what is the best way to do it, go with a 20 mm trowel and back butter the tiles. Never done floor tiles before only wall. Also any recommendations for adhesive, i don't want quickset as I won't be very fast at laying them.

Yes, always notch the floor with the 20mm trowel. I would also skim the back of the tile with adhesive (like a plaster skim thickness), then butter the tiles and fit. You can use rapid if you want, just keep making small batches as you go along. It'll be a powdered adhesive and just ask at the tile shop for the bag you need. As it's going on concrete, you don't need flexible, unless it has underfloor heating in it.
