Yea the instructions say that the adhesive cures in 72 hours and they recommend waiting for at least 24... FWIW that's basically the way I installed them the first time... on a freshly painted tank yet. For those that don't know, paint will still give off "fumes" for up to a month after application, so if your dumb ass (my dumb ass in this case) installs a big "sticker" on the tank within oh 3 days, it just "might" develop air pockets... I'm surprised my tank pad is still on!
