Default how long to leave concrete

Before I lay the tiles over the old quary tiles, I want to remove any loose tiles and take out any that are causing the floor to have peaks and replace with a screed mix.

how long do I need to let it dry before I can lay the tiles on it?

I want to try and level the floor as much as possible to get a good level finish

Thanks

Specially formulated cement for the preparation of rapid-hardening low shrinkage mortars to be used as screeds or renderings in interior, exterior and underwater locations. BAL QUICKSET CEMENT is sulphate resistant and ideal for use in wet areas including showers and swimming pools. Screeds are [B]ready to receive foot traffic after 3 hours and ceramic tiles[/B] [B]may be fixed after 24 hours[/B]. After 24 hours, the strength of BAL QUICKSET CEMENT screeds exceeds the level normally attained by conventional cement:sand screeds after 28 days.
