wet celetex?

[homebuilder77]

ok, I just finished laying my 1200g dpm on the block and beam floor, and got the celetex 80mm all nicely butted together with the t-break upstands to outside walls, then the heavens opened before I could tape the floor boards on the first floor to provide any sort of protection from the rain.

Now I have pools of water lying on the celetex (foil backed so not so worried, it will dry off) but I expect also some water between the celetex and the dpm. I am about to foil tape the celetex and am wondering if I need to lift it all first to let it dry out underneath? in 6 days 60mm of screed is going down.

I figure it will all dry out in the end or am I being to optimistic and should 'get out there lad with my bucket and mop'???

Personally a bit puzzled about taping it.

When you walk on it, any water under the boards is just going to squirt up and screw up your efforts, isn't it ?

I'm sure this exact question has been asked before. I can't remember any answers of course, but you could try a search.
Or maybe I can see the future... hmm...

Errrr .... Shouldn't you have a roof on before installing your screed/celotex ???

Not sure about celotex but kingspan (same gear) says it should be discarded if it ever gets wet !! I'd contact celotex to be sure if i were you.
