I'd like to apply a grout sealer to some shower tile grout in a new construction home. It says to wait until the grout is fully cured before applying. How long does that normally take?

Just finished a bathroom replacement. The tile guy told me to wait 24 hours before applying the sealer. I did. That was last week and everything seems to be okay, so far.

You mean the one the builder of the house threw away before I moved in? I know that paint has a drying time and also a curing time. I thought it might be similar for grout, with a curing time being something like 3 weeks. But I guess not.....
