Super_Slash 08/08/23 1:36:54 AM #1:	Like for basically anything with instructions that tell you to wait a certain amount of time (such as after caulking something), it's usually recommended to wait 24 hours. Why is this the case though? I assume it's typically easier than giving an arbitrary waiting time and that nothing "bad" would happen if you were a few hours short of 24. <cite>Super_Slash posted [p:975321489] in Why is 24 ...
