How long does this stuff take to cure?

Not knowing what "stuff" you used, I can't make an honest judgement.
Environmental conditions play a huge role in how quickly finish cures as
well. It may sound a little funny, but I smell the finish. When I can't
smell it any longer, it's cured. Not scientific but it seems to have
worked for me.

I agree, the smell test is the best way, with most finishes.

I recently refinished my front door with an oil based poly.
Since the temperatures were already down, it took almost
4 weeks for the smell to really disappear. Interestingly,
I noticed that the finish was a *lot* harder than it had
been after around one week (when it "looked" done).
