Cement typically takes about 24 to 48 hours to harden enough for light handling around a fence post. However, it can take up to 28 days for the cement to fully cure and reach its maximum strength. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and the specific type of cement used can affect the hardening time. It's best to wait at least a couple of days before applying any significant pressure or weight to the post.
No, it woud take too long to harden and would very likely shrink.
Wood putty typically takes around 24 hours to fully harden once applied.

it takes 28 days to fully cure, It would be advisable not to drive on it before that because of micro cracks, which will continue to migrate through time, causing spiderwebbing outside of your control joints, Depends on the cement used some quick cure cements can harden in an hour
It takes at least 3 days to harden.
Cement can typically be stored for up to three months without significant loss of quality, provided it is kept in a dry, airtight environment to prevent moisture absorption. If stored improperly, such as in damp conditions, it may set or harden prematurely. It's important to check for any signs of clumping or hardening before use, as these can indicate that the cement has gone bad. For best results, using fresh cement is always recommended.
As long as the fence is on your property, no.

maybe around 1-3 minutes depends on the brand
When water is added it starts a process beginning with the formation of short hexagonal crystals. it is this process of crystal formation which begins the setting process and usually is substantially complete after 24 hours. However, the crystals continue to form and fill up the spaces for weeks and even months as long as the cement is not allowed to dry out. When mixing cement it is recommended to keep it wet for at least 3 days, when it reaches maybe 80% of its final strength, but a week to ten days is better. Cement will continue to harden for several years. The strongest cement you can get is that which sets up underwater and is never allowed to dry out
To ensure the stability and durability of your fence, properly set fence posts in concrete by digging deep holes, placing the posts securely in the ground, and pouring concrete around them. This will provide a strong foundation that can withstand weather and pressure, keeping your fence stable for a long time.
