Thanks Shawn, Kent, Nolan, and Bruce.

Well, it is curing, very slowly. I removed the hatches and plastic wrap after 35 hours. The silicone had just hardened enough to remove the wrap after that time. Normally this product appears cured overnight, but tkes 24 hours to come to a full cure. Covering with plastic wrap slows the curing process dramatically. I think silicone has something in it that needs to evaporate to cure, tha plastic slows this process down, but it does appear to be working. Patience is the key.
