    Curing time for Animal Plastics sealant?
    We sealed our T10 yesterday morning with the sealant AP provided - clear tube with the red cap. How long should we let that set/dry before setting up the rest of the enclosure? My general rule of thumb would be at least 24 hours and make sure there are no fumes, but I wanted to make sure that's fine or if there's a more scientific method for figuring out wait times. Thanks!

    I let mine cure for 48 to 72 hours, I just like to give it some extra time.

    Thanks, Deb! We've let it sit for a few days now and will hopefully be setting it up tonight!

    As Deb stated 48-72 hours is a good rule of thumb - I just sealed the T10 I picked up at Tinley to save on shipping - it's airing out in my living room.

    After 72 hours, hows the smell of the sealant? That stuff has a very strong odor!

    We ended up letting ours set for 3 or 4 days but needed to leave the doors propped open for ventilation.
