    I'm pretty new to tiling (only ever done floor of my porch, which was only about 70% good), i'm gonna have a go at the cooking area in my kitchen.

    I just have one question, when the tiles are up (and the seperators are in), how long should I wait before putting the 'grout' in.

    Thanks

    If you use buckets over night if you use rapid flex a couple of hours.

    If your using white grout it might be worth sealing

    If it wall tiling your doing and you are using spacers. You can pretty much grout it straight away. This is what most tilers do and there is never an issue with it.

    Most tilers that grot straight away use rapid flex setting adhesive. Those that dont.... Well there is a name for them.

    I said if you use rapid flex you can grout after a couple of hours.
