Quick question... How soon can I grout

[Ajax123]

Just finished my cooker splash back and under unit tiling. Used kerakoll grey rapid flex adhesive so.a rapid set. All onto new plasterboard.

I really want to get it grouted this evening if I can. I'm using mapei flexible grout in ivory. I believe it should be left for about four hours normally before grouting....

Anyone know what the implications are of grouting too soon

Cheers mate. Thinking of leaving it for maybe a couple of hours to set.... Then just getting on with it....

6.23 it'll be ready to grout, not a min later.

Just in time to watch the end of Star Wars. :smilewinkgrin:

I'm not a Kerakoll user, but usually with a rapid, it will firm up within 30-60 mins, so usually for a splash back they're ready to grout by the time you've cleaned up and put your tools away, quick cup of tea, then start grouting where you started and finish where your finished

My wife spotted your pictures and quite likes the tile colours you've used....another job to add the (ever growing) list of things to do around the house. On the plus side another job for the portfolio!

They look quite retro which is the look we wanted. They are from the topps tiles matrix range. They also help lighten a really dark and dingy kitchen
