Loctite 5900 dry time?

I’m installing an LN 2qt Deep Sump kit now.
How long do I have to wait until I can add oil?
how long before I can drive again?
Loctite tube says 24h cure time.
Is that correct?

24 hours of cure time before putting in oil....is what I've heard.

Well luckily I don't need to drive the car until Monday so I can wait until tomorrow afternoon to add the oil.
That doesn't mean I don't want to be driving it now.

Are people using 5900 as a sealant for the oem oil sump plate? I'll be taking mine off in the near future and have been reading conflicting answers about what to use as a sealant when putting it back on.
