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....

been Sikaflex'd the previous day where solid....hope that helps

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.

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.

if you get any on your hands etc just rub with paper role with white spirits on it, comes straight 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.
