Depends on the humidity, temperature, ventilation & how thick the coat is. Probably within 24 hours though. That is always when I apply the 2nd coat.

I put it on a thicker coat, maybe that is why its taking longer to dry.
Hope it dries with in 24-48 hours.
Temp is 90's
Humidity is very low here in the desert in Texas
Ventilation is good

If you plan on painting over it I recommend applying some primer while it is still tacky.

It's best to put 2 thin coats than 1 thick coat.
It's hardening now, but still a little tacky

I imagine you will be OK. Put a fan in the area.
