help with tiles
I was really ready to tile today. So I mixed the thin set and started tiling. I didn't read the bag when it said to wait 5-10 mins before tiling. So question is did I really mess up or will the tiles wind up ok?

you need to wait for the thinset to "slake" This allows the chemicals to react and strengthen the mix. I would suggest removing the tiles you just set and start over correctly.
