about 1 weekIt’s not blooming. It’s just damp from the adhesive. I prefer to use rapid set then the adhesive hydrates quicker. How long have they been laid ?
The wetting is where the adhesive has made contact. Hopefully it will dry before sealing. Which sealer did you pre-seal withabout 1 week
Ok. The stone needs to be thoroughly dry before sealing and using a standard setting adhesive will increase this drying time.lithofin stain stop
Thanks so much so far for your constructive help. I hate to say it but I have sealed them in the photograph prior to grouting will they just take longer to dry out or have I created a problem?Ok.
