Tab. 2.1 Curing times for the various materials
At temperatures below room temperature, you must expect the curing time to be
extended and full curing (final hardness) to take longer.
Once the time specified in Tab. 2.1 has expired, the adhesive will have bonded sufficiently
so that you can start connecting the cable. Final hardness takes about 24 hours.
However, measurements can be taken after the times stated in Tab. 2.2.
