3M 4200 Curing Question

[cwoav8r]

I got my stainless scupper installed this afternoon with 4200. I know it takes 24 hours to cure, but how soon can I get it wet... I know that sounds stupid... but I really want to wash the inside and outside of the boat today (5 hours later) and I don't want to risk screwing up the bond.

Full cure is 24 hours. I think you would be ok but personally I would wait. Here's the data sheet for 4200.

I rinsed the inside just a little bit... the main drain caught everything before it could rise to the level of the scupper so it stayed dry. I really wanted to get on the water tomorrow, but I couldn't get finished today. Another work day next Saturday...

Thanks @Murf'n'surf
