Cure time

[octane]

So I was looking at some videos on youtube, and I hear stuff like "this sealant needs 36 hours to cure, and this one take 6 hours"...

so now I'm looking at all my lsp collection, and I'm not seeing any of this info on any of my products? where do you get this kind of info?

what's the cure time for normal sealants? wax?

thanks

What all sealants do you have?

The usual should be 12 hours for curing.

12 hours is fine for all of those. The cure time is mainly a time frame for which you can then after add a wax over top of the sealant this is called Topping.

Sensitivity to moisture, it is said, is a bane to sealants and their cross-linking abilities.
Ergo: Dry as possible, out of the elements (as much as possible): cure-times.

Here's an example of where to find the cure time for WGDGPS 3.0:

Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant delivers a deep, wet, liquid shimmer unlike anything you can imagine.

RE: Directions:

5. This product is moisture-sensitive. In order to achieve a slick, durable finish,
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 must cure for at least 12 hours before being exposed to moisture.
Do not apply sealant before dusk because dew will interfere with the adhesion to the paint.
Park your vehicle in a garage or under a shelter while it is curing, if possible.

should provide sealants' cure-times, when they exist/are pertinent.
