RTV silicone typically takes about 24 hours to fully cure, depending on the thickness of the application and the environmental conditions. While it may become tack-free within a few hours, it's important to allow ample time for complete curing to ensure optimal performance. Factors like humidity and temperature can also influence the drying time. Always check the manufacturer's instructions for specific guidance.

Yes, RTV silicone can be used as an alternative to traditional gaskets for sealing purposes. It forms a flexible, durable seal that is resistant to oil, water, and chemicals. However, proper surface preparation and application are crucial for a successful seal.
To fully cure I give it 24 hours under average conditions.
RTV (Room-Temperature Vulcanizing) silicone is generally not recommended for applications involving prolonged exposure to fuel, as it may deteriorate over time. It's best to use specific fuel-resistant sealants or gaskets designed for fuel systems for optimal performance and safety.
