Let it cure
So let's talk cure times. FastFlash uses STP technology which is a moisture cure technology. It likes heat and it likes humidity. The higher the humidity the quicker it'll cure. Most of the time in a high heat, high humidity area you can move on within about a half an hour.

Now that you know how to use Fast Flash and you've completed all of your detail work you're ready to move on to the air barrier.
