Hi everybody

I have recently completed an outdoor tile job in Croatia. Due to time and weather constraints I was unable to completely level the slab on which i laid the tiles. Therefor to keep it level I have made up the height difference in some places by adding some extra tile glue where needed (up to 15mm).
I have now just finished grouting the tiles and when i did it not completely dry (glue was set but there was some water between the tiles)
I am worried that I may have trapped some of the water under the tiles (at a temp of about 8 degs) and the tiles are going to be exposed to direct sunlight in 35 degs in summer. (tiles are 300x300x5mm)
What is the likelihood that these tiles are going to crack in summer.
Is there anything at this stage I can do to prevent it happening?

Thanks

Simon
