Strip: Varnish Curing - how long before I can get it wet?

Just put my last coat of varnish on early this a.m. and I'm wondering how long I need to let it sit in the workshop before getting it wet. Our current weather is "hot" - about 100F mid afternoons and I'm wondering if this would be a "risk" factor. I've many many hours into this project and while we'd like to be out this week-end I don't particularly want to risk causing damage to the finish by pushing the time envelope. thanks..ian
