It is dependant on heat and moisture. So it will cure quicker on a warm damp evening! It should stiffen up in a matter of minutes, and fully cure in 24hrs....

When I started building my car it was the middle of winter and most weekends it was between 2 and -2, but by the next morning all of the bits that had been Sikaflex'd the previous day where solid....hope that helps

Good, roughly what I thought then

to things you want to stick too long.

to things you dont ( hands, hair, clothes, dogs, shoes and the real important one carpet ) the time is nan-o-seconds.

Here speaks the voice of experience

It took 3 days for my wheel arches to set onto the wing stays. They were thick beads though. A thin smear on your fingers? About 2 seconds until it won't ever come off.

I guess the super high humidity of this area where I live doesn't help, but mine has always taken a full week to cure. Except the part that ends up on your hands. That hardens up fast and as said, doesn't want to come off.
