couple of hours to set. its best to keep ot clamped on for a bit. if u cood leave it for an afternoon, thats be perfect. if it gets on body work, wait till it dires, other wise it'll smudge everywhere and get worse. you could get a rag, and dip it in pannel wipe to wipe it off.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Martin when you watched me do it, it wasn't thinners i used to get the excess off, its panel wipe. Use panel wipe to clean the excess off its really good. DO NOT use thinners as it'll make your paint soft and the paint will probably come off with the glue

24 hours to set properly, thats the length of time you should leave it until you wash the vehicle, it has usually dried enough to drive the car after 2 hours
