Overheard a builder in line at the hardware store talking about 'fast drying' leveler

He was telling his buddy he used a rapid set compound over a plywood subfloor and started laying LVP after just 90 minutes. Said it felt solid when he tapped it. That stuff can be tricky, and the top can feel hard while it's still curing underneath. I had a call back two years ago for a similar job where the floor failed after six months because the leveler wasn't fully set. It's not worth the rush. Has anyone else seen a job fail from putting flooring down too soon after leveling?

That's a tough lesson to learn.

Sometimes the easy way out teaches you nothing worth knowing.
