External tilling on a wet concrete path - Tile Advice

[Martin68]

I am laying porcelain external tiles over a concrete path outside. The path has had self leveling poured on it and a coat of 50/50 sbr, water mix as a primer. The trouble is its been raining all morning and now it's cleared up but the path is still very damp from the rain.
Can I still stick the tiles on the damp path or does it have to be bone dry? If the latter, this could be a problem as it rains a lot in Wales this time of year.
I'm using exterior frost proof tile adhesive, if that helps, you answer my question.
Thanks.

Hey bud
You should be ok to lay on damp cement, it wont do any harm and will probably help with the bonding. If it rains again just cover with a tarpaulin.

What leveller was it. ? Very few can be used externally

Screwfix no nonsense self leveling composed for internal and external use, said to be frost proof

You cannot lay on damp surface as it is primed with a waterproof primer !therefore it won't bond properly! Dry it
