No need to prime ply when using Mapei flexi.

dry cut it fella

Listen to Jef. Once you put the tile in place you want to be leaving it there. If you make your cuts and dry lay your tiles, you'll know that it'll be ok before you even start mixing any adhesive. This way you won't need to move any tiles you have laid.

advise taken dry run it is thanks

There is no Mapei adhesive called "flexi" so I'd assume he means Keraflex.
