Self-leveling compound cure times vary depending on factors like:
- Type of self-leveling compound: Epoxy-based compounds generally cure faster than cement-based ones.
- Temperature and humidity: Warmer temperatures and lower humidity speed up the curing process.
- Thickness of the application: Thicker layers take longer to cure.
- Manufacturer's instructions: Always follow the manufacturer's recommended cure times for the specific product you are using.
Typical Cure Times:
- Epoxy-based self-leveling compounds: Can cure in as little as 24 hours, but may need up to 72 hours for full cure.
- Cement-based self-leveling compounds: Typically take 24-48 hours to cure, but may need up to 72 hours for full cure.
Note: It is important to allow the self-leveling compound to fully cure before applying any finishes or placing heavy objects on it. This ensures the surface is strong and durable.
