Glue that won't dry in wet weather is a huge headache

I'm seeing more jobs where the adhesive just won't cure properly in damp conditions. Last week, we had a tile install in a bathroom with poor ventilation, and the glue stayed sticky for over two days. This messed up our whole timeline because we couldn't lay the next layer. The product info says it works in high humidity, but that's clearly not true. Now I have to factor in extra drying time for every moist area job. It adds cost and stress for no good reason. We need adhesives that actually do what they promise.

Did you crank up a fan or something to move the air around? I always bring a small heater on damp jobs now... it cuts the dry time in half usually.

Last week's bathroom flood needed a fan and heater running 48 hours... @john161 has the right idea bringing a heater. I won't do a damp job without one now.
