I laid my 12 x 12 tiles this afternoon. How soon after I lay the tile can I grout?

24 hours after finishing laying the tile.

The answer is, whatever it says on the product you used. What did you use, be specific.

Here's a question from a HO that hired some person to set tiles.
Contractor is planning to put 12x12 porcelain tiles on top of 1/4" luan using premixed thinset. The room is 22x13 on top of 2x8 joists and oak hardwood & vinyl.
Someone answered;
This is a joke, correct?
I answered;
It has to be a joke, no one could do that many things wrong on one job. wink could they?
But then again there are a lot of hacks out there telling people they know how to install tile when they have no clue.

With Hacks like that maybe people should do it themselves?:wall:
