Dura-Rock cement boards are up around tub/shower, joints were taped with
thinset. Now the tiling, and I'm asking opinions are the proper adhesive
to
use for the tiles. The local Reno store suggests a Type 2 latex adhesive,
but I have some doubts about using it.

Thanks in advance


That's what I used.

Keep your tile joints smaller than a 1/4 inch. You will need non-sanded
grout for the shower/tub area.

Sanded grout is used for floors and can cover areas quite large.

Let dry and seal properly I do 2 coats to be sure I get everything.

The adhesive is only important for the "sticking" to the walls. The grout
and tile provide the water proof part.
Hold the tile above the tub use a bath and tub caulk for this. The
different materials can expand differently and caulk will hold better than
grout. I also use caulk in the vertical corners.
