If you still smell the sharp silicone smell it is better to leave it longer than take unnecessary risks with your T's.

Agreed, better safe than sorry.

Yeah rather wait until there is no smell and as Masta_Splinta said, rather safe than sorry.

If you let it cure in the sun it cures a little faster and the smell tends to go away much faster ..
I wait for atleast 3 to 7 days .

Marine Silicone or any silicone dries to touch within 30 mins .
under the skin tends to dry in a day or so..
Smell starts going after 2 days ..


You can wash it with dish washing liquad sunlight
rinse very well a couple of times till it smells like freash water :laugh:

I also build my own enclosures now. I leave it outside for 3 days minimum, wash it out with sunlight and rinse it with luke water.

Thanks for the replies, what is the fastest way to take off the excess silicone

Sharp scraping blade.
Use Turpentine or Brakefluid
