Anyone have any idea what the approximate cure time for "No Nonsense"

I've started using this. It's not a easy to use as the Loctite product
which has a nice bellows style squeezable container.


I've found the same thing, it works well, but the tube needs a firm hand.

I would have said that used in the right place you need not worry about
setting time. Used to do tricks (like setting screwed elbow fitting at
the right position as opposed to tight) you might need it to leave it a
day to harden.


I'm not sure it cures at all. Whilst Loctite would set & hold a fitting in
a certain position, I don't think liquid PTFE is meant to do the same.
