Slurry primer for porcelain slab?

[burts]

Hello
I have purchased Porcelain tiles and don’t know how to prime them?
Is the Slurry mix a powdered adhesive? Or is it a liquid you add to cement?

Need to pick some up later or tomorrow so if anyone knows if wicks or similar sell .... thanks

Slurry is very runny cement and water. Would the tiling forum be better?

Usually a mIx of SBR and cement, but worth checking if this is suitable for porcelain

Oh
I meant a slurry primer/adhesive bond

Yeah I saw SBR, mix 1 part sbr 1 part water and cement. I didn’t know whether or not there was a pre mixed powder.

There are proprietary slurry primers for paving, but I doubt they are available outside of specialist retailers/merchants.

Most DIYers use the SBR mix

I’d rather not use something that’s going to be rubbish made for DIYers
This ain’t my job obviously but I am a tradesman so rather it be a better job. What would you use?

Do have a look at this thread:

No idea if that could apply to your slabs but thought it worth mentioning.

I'd use SBR to be honest, but a quick Google revealed this
