Standard 25 x 40cm tiles, 8mm thick, 6mm equal notch spreader, held at about 45 degrees to the wall. I would prefer it to be thicker.
Wall is plaster skim with BAL tile primer.
I've pushed and bashed the tiles into the wall as hard as I can, which is pretty hard. Portrait style, they slip down about 1/8" every time.
Bal White Star premixed adhesive. It says "non slip". Rubbish! Are there any tile adhesives which do what it says on the pot?
I haven't done tiling for years. I used to use battens all the time but the effort of finding a straight bit of wood was enough to persuade me to put faith in this junk. So I've spent half an hour constantly pushing 3 tiles up to a line where it would be hard to use a batten.
Any suggestions? Nails?

Now 15 mins later, and they're still slipping. One more go and if they keep slipping they'll have to come off.
