Thank you for posting your feedback on DA Kwik Seal Plus Kitchen and Bath Sealant. We're sorry to see your low star review on DAP Kwik Seal Plus. The dry time indicated on the package label is intended to be a "guide" for planning purposes, however, as this is a water based (acrylic latex) formula, the sole drying mechanism is the evaporation of water. As indicated on the package label guidance and supporting product literature, dry time can be significantly impacted by cool or humid application conditions or by thick (deep) applications of the sealant. Because you did not provide any background on your application technique, application conditions or application surface, it is difficult to provide a more detailed response. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss your project/materials in more detail, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.
