I was using it once for a building maintenance project so I happen to have the spec sheet for it. Before getting some for that project, I was not aware that it was so good for use with plastics.
Still, 2-3 weeks is a long time for us impulsive types
bill had to fill in a 2" wide rebate with that silicone. he called the manufactureto see wht they had to say about it. they told him the thicker the application the longer it takes to cure. im not sure how thick you had your silicone but bills is about a 2" x 2" sealing area that had to cure. in a situation where it has to hold water i would want it to cure fully so i would wait a long time to put any pressure on it.
