The waterproofing being used is the paint on type, but I don't know how long in need for it to dry before the tiles or screed can be laid over the top. I'm sure that the longer the better, but does anyone who uses this type of waterproofing regularly know the minimum it must be left for to dry. Thanks for your responses.

We used to use four coats- sometimes more, of Durabit and allow a days drying between each coat at least but that depends on the weather a lot too. Cool, humid conditions means it'll take longer to dry. It is something you definitely don't want to rush.
