3M 5200 curing time

[ken 120]

Just a FYI- waited a number of days to get a window of dry weather to do a quick project with 5200. Tube says you need seven days for it to fully cure- in Home Depot yesterday and saw 5200 in a red top tube that claims it fully dries/cures in 24 hours. Good news if it works.

3M makes 2 types of 5200; the regular and fast cure.

Also seems to be somewhat temperature dependant. I had some "normal" 5200 which was still tacky after 4 days at 40 - 50 degrees so I put heater next to it and it set up in 12 hours.
The "fast" stuff is definitley quicker.
