and about cure 24 hours... i think permatex has a version that dries way fast, so you dont have to wait that long.
thanks again.
You do not want to use a fast setting sealant, if you make an error you could be stripping the newly applied sealant within minutes of putting it on. Thin areas of sealant will dry and not allow you to clamp down evenly and maybe distort the cover.
