24 to 48 Hours. You should wait at least 24 hours before grouting the tiles. You may notice that the edges of the thinset or the thinset showing through the grout lines looks dry. Don't be fooled by this. The thinset under the tiles isn't receiving as much air as the edges and is therefor not fully cured.
Time Before Grouting. Drying time varies with ambient air temperature, humidity and moisture content of the mortar when applied. In general, mortar must set at least 24 to 48 hours before grouting. Apply mortar when the ambient air temperature is between 50 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit.Ideally, temperatures should not exceed this range for at least 72 hours after application.ven when mortar appears dry on the outside edges of the tile, it may not have fully cured beneath the tile surface. Allowing proper time for the mortar to cure before grouting will ensure your tiled surface will last for at least decades.
