Hello All!

For how long am I supposed to let plumber's putty dry? (Around the drain flange in the sink.) I'm clueless on this one.


And how long for the caulking? I used all-purpose (Around sink.)
24 hrs right?



Thanks,
JP

Yeah Im pretty sure it's 18 to 24 hours. Depending on the thickness, or rather, the amount used :yes:
