Default Curing time? What's that about?
I just finished applying a second coat of Rejex after doing the first coat yesterday. Instructions say to let it sit 12 hours so it can 'cure.' What does that mean? What's this curing business, and why is it necessary?

It actually hardens to a point and needs time for that process.

The cure time is needed for the product to properly bond to the surface and harden where other products like wax can be applied over the Rejex.

Should last 4-6 months, at least that is my experience with it.

Good product.

When you give it the time to cure it really looks great and lasts.
