RTV dry/cure time

Hello!

Quick dumb general question (actualyl not even pertaining to my 123, but with the OD board closed, this is probably the best place to ask).

I know that RTV (at least the stuff I have) is supposed to fully cure in 24 hours. Now, I know that it'll dry at a somewhat earlier time than that.

So, my question is...what is the minimum safe time to put pressure on RTV?

I'm trying to seal something up with externally-applied RTV (dumb, I know, but I don't really have a choice ) and am getting tired of waiting a full day between applying another layer of RTV and pressure-testing the cooling system...and have practically wasted over a week and a half on this process already.

Thanks!
