    Default Rapid setting Adhesive

    I am using bal ptb which says can be grouted after 3 hrs. Does this mean that I can walk on the tiles after 3 hrs so that I can do the edge cuts?

    Yeah you should be fine as long as the adhesive has set. Sometimes it can take longer sometimes shorter.

    As SR says, but this time of year you will find that rapid takes ages to set, next day in some cases, depending on conditions etc
