does anyone know how long this stuff takes to cure? i tried googling it and didn't come up with anything. it doesn't have any instructions or anything with it so i'm hoping someone here will know. (i know you guys have tried it!) thanks:)

eta- or just how long it generally takes for silicone sealant to cure? i am very much looking forward to filling my new tank up but want to make sure it's safe first, i don't want 150g of water on my floor

Indoors I'd give it at least 24 hours, outside 48 hours or a few days if it's very, very cold :).

I normally wait a week before adding water.
