    Default Lithofin Slate Seal and Grouting time

    Hi all,

    Just done my first diy tiling last night, riven slate put down with BAL fast flex. Only thing I got caught out by was the different heights of the tiles. Think in future I'd use polished slate.

    Pics are bound, it's all I can do after the help I have had from here.

    Anyway I washed down the tiles last night and just applied slate seal prior to grouting and another coat.

    Thing is that I don't have a toilet at the moment, so I was wondering how long I need to wait till I can grout and then get the loo in. Lithofin says dry after an hour but fully cured after 24. I don't want to start grouting if it is going to muck up the sealant. Any ideas - it is just worth waiting and grouting tomorrow.
