Erm. Around 2-3wks. Alot of time is spent waiting. For example I may take 4hours to paint one layer of cement, but after that I have to wait for it to dry. Typically cement can dry in 3-6hrs depending on the mixture and surrounding conditions. For application of silicon to layers to make the background thicker, I waited for 24hours for the silicon to cure. For application of silicon to stick the background to the tank, I waited for the silicon to cure for 7 days as instructed on the silicon tube for maximum strength. So you can see that the working time is actually not so much. It is the waiting time that is long.
