Silicone cure time?

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

I made a 'dry' box for a Vortech to go in the back of my solana cube. It's been about 18 hours now and I still smell a bit of the 'vinegar' smell. Should this be completely gone before I test this thing to make sure its completely sealed?

I heard silicone curing time is generally about 24 hours? I also know tanks are suppose to sit for a week or two before being filled but this not a tank and will not have water in it...or I am in trouble!
