M-Fix is a thin-set adhesive. The Indian sandstone is so variable in thickness that some pieces will need 20mm or so of adhesive to hold them in place, while others will need 3mm. M-Fix is not a good idea for this sort of application.

On this type of work in the past, we've always used a Class II mortar with extra bonding additives and a really good plasticiser.
