Selleys Wet Area Silicone requires atmospheric moisture to cure. Using a hair dryer will have no effect on the cure time and could hinder the curing process.

The shower can be used 24 hours after application of Selleys Wet Area Silicone. The sealant should have developed a sufficient skin and watertight seal, just ensure it is not disturbed by touching.

If using Selleys No Mould (acetic cure silicone), the shower can be used 1 hour after application as it will have skinned over sufficiently, however will need 72 hours to fully cure. During this full curing time, it should also not be disturbed by touching.
