What is the typical cure time (drying time) for silicone caulk?
A 3/16″ bead “normally” cures in 24 hours. The cure time could vary depending on the moisture in the air. Lack of humidity will make the curing process slower. If the product shows some sign of curing, such as a change in original consistency, it should cure but may take longer than normal. It may take up to 48 hours for caulk to cure under extreme conditions.
