2-3 hours in winter I think pending where you live.... But depends how you applied it... You are supposed to apply wet wait like 2 minutes, then put the parts together with screws to hold in place finger tight, then wait 5 minutes, then torque to spec. Then wait like an hour before oiling.... Cure time depends on temp and right now in most places its freezing, or very cold so I would wait like 2-3 hours just in case... Its also very moist outside..... and in NC snowing probably? Wait awhile
