Default Sealing time please help

How long should I wait for my vive to seal before putting any animals in them?

Vive is made out of plywood and will be sealed with a water-based polycrylic.

I've been told to put some lights on it and also have a fan on it.

How long should I be doing this for?

Thanks! any replies are appreciated

check the labell to see how long until it fully cures, wait longer... you want to make sure that the sealant has released all the vapours of the curing process.

As Stated Read the Lable

Adding lights to warm the surface or Fans to blow on the surface to dry it faster does nothing to "cure" the inner product..Doing so can actually effect the chemical reactions needed to cure as a solid product and even separate individual layers on some products.
