[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by rrinker</i> <br /><br />Update, checked at 4:15 PM, 2 hours after initial placement. Caulk is still not dry, I can move the Tortoise around still. But it didn't fall off by its own weight. Drying time is probably extended because of a lack of air flow. Also checked - the edge card end of the Tortoise does NOT project down below the 1x4 benchwork. Wires attached to it would, but the machine itself is still within the 1x4 (barely). <br /> <br /> --Randy <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I typically find caulk requires "overnight" to be fully dry. Whether that's 12 hours, 20, 9 or other, I don't really know... I typically work on the layout in the evening, and don't return until the next evening. I do know that on weekends when I've used caulk during the course of the day, it's still been distinctly tacky and movable at the 4-6 hour mark...
