No you can use it if you are impatient. Make sure to bake it first to kill anything like fungus, mold, parasites, etc from coming into a cage. The best thing to do is let it dry and season inside to fully prevent it from ever molding or peeling/cracking inside a cage.
Personally I never put anything in a cage before letting it fully cure for 6 months but if you can't wait then at least bake it.
