If your ready mix area is likley to get wet or in a high foot traffic area,it could be a bit risky.So if your thinking of redoing it,better do it sooner rather than later.You'll be able to save the tiles before the gear goes hard.
 
Well, I just started pulling them up and although one of them has come up without much trouble - and still pretty wet underneath, the rest are hard enough round the edges that I'm struggling to even get anything in to try and prise with, so I think I'm going to have to leave them there to go off slowly in their own time - it's only a kitchen, so not high traffic and there's no damp.

Any opinions on when I'll be safe to grout these? Am I trying to do it when the stuff has dried 100% right to the middle of the tile (if so, how would I know) or is it when they are solidly set in the bits I can reach?
 
In your powder area tap (not too hard)the centre of a tile with something solid. now tap a tile in ready mix area. the powder area will sound more solid than the ready mix. as long as the powder area has gone off.
