sealing a rocker cover

[Retro-gone.]

after a troublesome leak on my rocker cover ive just fitted a new (pattern) gasket, this time ive added some sealing silicone, question is do i leave the sealant to go off for a day before i start the car up or just an hour?

im only asking because on the tube is says 'fully cures after 24 hours'.

i used that blue sealing paste in the tube once the engine warms it up it goes off dead quick

Glue the gasket to the rocker cover with evostick, then when fitting to head, a light smear of Blue Hylomar,

I have used this method for years, and very rarely do I have a leaking gasket,

am i the only one that JUST used the cork gasket with no troubles at all??
