I was starting to panic a little thinking " Am I the only crazy person that fires things up after a very short cure time"?

I do try to do it in very small amounts under the idea that if I re-did tons of plumbing all at once, the VOC would be much more of a problem.

Let it sit 5 minutes and you are good to go. Wipe off the excess cement inside the pipe with a paper towel where possible.
