Advanced Silicone 2 Kitchen & Bath Sealant fully cures in 24 hours at standard laboratory conditions, usually 70°F / 21°C and 50% relative humidity. At colder temperatures or difficult humidity, cure time can increase significantly.
What is the minimum temperature to use Advanced Silicone 2 Kitchen & Bath Sealant?

How long does Advanced Silicone 2 Kitchen & Bath Sealant take to cure in cold weather?
Cold temperatures significantly extend cure time. As a rule of thumb, every 18°F (10°C) below 70°F can roughly double cure time. Enter your actual temperature in the calculator for a product-specific estimate.
Does humidity affect Advanced Silicone 2 Kitchen & Bath Sealant cure time?
Yes. Advanced Silicone 2 Kitchen & Bath Sealant has an optimal humidity range of 30-65% RH. Below 30% RH curing will stall. Above 70% RH the surface may skin over while the interior remains uncured, producing a weak bond.
What is the open time for Advanced Silicone 2 Kitchen & Bath Sealant?
Advanced Silicone 2 Kitchen & Bath Sealant has a working open time of 10 minutes at standard conditions. At higher temperatures open time may shorten; at lower temperatures cure may slow after assembly.
