Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from y'all on the internet.
Today's question is:
It’s best to wait a day if possible. Cure times vary depending on adhesive, ranging from 30 minutes to several hours. Cold weather and moisture can slow curing, so giving it extra time is safer.
Testing the seal too early can compromise the bond, even if the installer did everything correctly.
Patrick recommends waiting at least a day before washing, especially in cold or damp conditions.
