Sakrete confusing tile install instructions
I am in the process of installing a mud shower pan….will be placing tile over it. I am using Sakrete Floor Mud pre mixed product. Instructions on back of bag read that tile installation can commence as soon as mortar bed will support foot traffic and tile weight. It also says that if tile install cannot be completed within 24 hours of mud bed being installed, you must wait 28 days for mud to cure. Certainly this is a mistake? Can anyone comment on this? I have attached a photo of instructions on back of bag.
Thank you, Scott

Sakrete website confirms that the tile install should be within 24hours or you should wait 28 days. Says the product enters a “green” state and needs that long to fully cure. Not sure what that means:
