They both have the same time specs and will allow grouting after a few hours and traffic after 6 hours. Your local tile supply house should have something similar. Read the label carefully. Make sure you use the correct material on the floor under the tile. You also have to work quickly because the mixture will start to be unuseable in like 15-20 mins, so small batches are a must. |
