Can you grout tiles too late?

[LillaRackaren]

We tiled the kitchen wall and laid tiles on the hall floor last weekend. Now we want to grout. And then I read in the documentation for the tile grout that you should grout no later than 3 days after placing the tile (see image from the document).

Does anyone understand this - what is the problem if you do it a little longer after these 3 days? What are the consequences/risks of grouting later than the recommended 3 days, as we will be doing?

Could it be that they are trying to say that sometimes one may need to wait up to 3 days before it is possible to start the grouting?

Isn't it possible that they're trying to say that sometimes you might need to wait up to 3 days before it's possible to start the sealing?

I hope you're right, me being a lawyer (lol) might be nitpicking words a bit too much.

Well, I have similar occupational injuries, so one must assume that the person who wrote the instructions didn't think in the same way. Possibly it's a translation error.

You can join at any time.

What is meant is when the sealing can be done at the earliest.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I'll drop this semantic question and submit whenever I want!
