Drying time depends on the thickness of the application and environmental conditions. Generally, it dries to the touch within an hour, but it can take longer to fully cure.

Gently stir the medium; avoid vigorous shaking. Allow the medium to sit for a few minutes before use to allow bubbles to dissipate. Apply thin, even coats.
