how long do you have to wait to grout after tiling when you have tanked the wall first i.m using bal white star

Bal white star can be grouted after 24 hrs, however as you have tiled onto the bal tanking and it is impervious to moisture and the white star hasnt got much suction to help it dry out on that substrate then i would tend to leave it another 24 hrs 48 in total as it needs the air getting to it from the open grout joints to dry out. this is only my opinion, if in doubt phone bal technical helpline there no is on the white star tub..
hope this helps steve.....

ps. i presume the right size tiles were used for the bal white star(the use off smaller tiles then the adhesive drys quicker due to more area getting air to it) and that you have used the bal tanking kit?????
