Dot and Dab Alternative

I think your getting to hung up on the lime situation
If there’s cement and lime in the mortar then the lime is just used as a plasticiser, it’s not doing a deal to the mortar.
Yours just looks like sand and cement to me, how do you know there’s lime in it anyway?
It looks like cavity wall?

Yea I think I am.

The doubt has come from when it was done and some boards failed but I think this was just due to no suction control when it was done.

I am thinking to dab and mechanically fix with insulated plasterboard fixings? Just can’t afford it to not be done properly.

Regarding the lime, it is a cavity wall but if you do a vinegar test it bubbles a lot which indicates lime in the mix

Would you dab or float and set? As long as it lasts how it should I’m fine with either

Thanks

Also it’s the brick itself that contains lime which is the main concern

Never thought about tile adhesive to be honest
