Default How quick is quick curing silicone?

I need a shower and have done the silicone bead round the top of the bath at
about 7.30.

Will I be OK using the shower at 11.00?

Product is Everbuild Premium 500 Bath and Sanitary Silicone. Says it's
quick curing on the tube but no time given. Been to the website but no info
there.

Should I stink till the morning or be all nice and clean between the sheets?

TIA

Nicholas

I would leave it until the morning myself, maybe at least 24 hrs.

It will have skinned, but won't have fully set. I would personally not
want to use it for 24 hours, even with it being fast cure.

Touch the silicone with a fingertip. If it's still soft enough to take a
fingerprint impression then leave it. If it's gone firm and rubbery already
it should be ok.
