Re-caulk job, how long to dry before pressure test

I removed most of the caulk on my 2009 845 and resealed everything with Geocel ProFlex RV. How long does this need to dry before it would be safe to do a pressure test. I am using an electric leaf blower and when I did the initial test, I was showing about 1/2" of WC pressure. The Geocel ProFlex tube says "it has a quick tack free time and is paintable", but nothing about a full cure time.

Anyone have any experience with cure times with this product?

Thanks!

    Full cure can take up to 6 days per the product documentation. see page 2 at top left. ambient temp and humidity have a great influence on cure times.

    OK, thanks for the link. I wonder if there is anyway to speed the cure time up? I would like to retest before I put it back on my truck. We would like to try it out this weekend and I have a few more things to do and check out before using it.
