Sealed walls trap moisture in the slab and that vapor has to go somewhere, so blaming the adhesive is off base when the real problem was the concrete still being wet. Glue that releases overnight usually means the slab was not dry enough to begin with, not that the humidity snuck up on you. Test the concrete with a moisture meter before you lay anything next time, because no adhesive on the market holds when the slab is still pushing water up.

Man, one stranger's offhand line just rewires your whole brain sometimes.
