Skinny bricks

Hi

We're applying skinny bricks (aka brick slips) as a feature on a chimney breast wall in our living room (I can hear readers of my parents generation grumbling: 'that's never come back in again has it?!' :rotfl:). It's a rectangle surface, around 2.6m high and 1.2m wide.

We already have the bricks and spacers, but have held off getting the adhesive/ cement grout. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for these? The wall surface is plaster on brick (I know we could have hacked it off and got the original but this seemed easier)

Has anyone done these skinny bricks before and got any tips on technique?
