I have some Hammerite instant gasket which I used to seal up a thermostat housing earlier, how long should I be waiting before filling it up with water (the packaging mentions nothing but usually you have to wait until silicone sealants have cured before getting wet)?
 
Im guessing you mean the orange stuff. Yeah at work we usually stick some new coolant in once we;ve rebuilt the front end back up. so like 10 minutes maybes?
 
its pretty much within the 10minute region. When i used it on my head i waited about 20 minutes however just to make sure.
 
Never used it but if its called "Instant" gasket, i'd expect it to set, well, instantly? :p:D
 
Silicone stuff I just leave it as long as I can, so like 1/2 hour minimum if I can.
