I put in anew thermostat on my small block chevy, and on the back of the RTV sealant tube it says that it dries in 1 hour and fully cures in 24 hours.
I think that the 24 hour time is probably for room temperature which is like 70 degrees.
I put the stuff on at 5 p.m. and it was tacky at 7 p.m.
I checked it at 10 p.m. and it was dry to the touch, the temperature in the garage is about 40 degrees, should I let it cure for 48 hours.
I am wondering if I took a hair dryer or a heat lamp that maybe it would help the RTV cure faster.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
