Flex Seal is ready to use and cures in 30 minutes. However, if you want to make it cure faster, there are some things you can do.
Use a heat gun on low setting (make sure it’s not too hot) and heat up the Flex Seal surface. This will help the sealant cure faster.
Lay down a thin layer of Flex Seal over the area and spread it out evenly with a paintbrush or roller. The thinner layer will allow the sealant to dry faster because there is less material for it to cure against.
Another way to speed up the cure time of Flex Seal is to apply pressure on the surface where it has been applied. Applying pressure will help activate the catalyst and cure the product faster.
