No need to let it set any longer than it takes you to get all those bolts tight. I don't know the specs,,,I just tighten by 'feel' with an 8" ratchet and don't exactly hang on the thing, but the get tight.

ps Permatex hints: use it liberally, making sure it seals all the way around and around the studs. Make a nice bead and don't try to rub it smooth with your finger. If any smooshes out, don't cut it off, at least for a day or two, so you don't mees up the seal.
