You are probably right, but I am always itching to get the job done ASAP.
Haven't been there in a while, but it was OK when I was there.
I did wait the recommended time and also didn't drive on it for 72 hours.
It was a warm, dry, sunny day when I did it. And the concrete had turned from that dark damp color to very pale color when I started painting.
