Does construction adhesive need to fully cure before sealing off?

    I'm posting in the workshop forum, since I figure the guys here would have the best chance of having an answer to this. If it doesn't fit here, feel free to move this to the Off Topic section!

    I'm using Gorilla Glue Construction adhesive to stick a ceramic soap shelf to a tile wall in my shower, and then applying bath caulking to seal the edges and make it look nice.

    The glue label says it take 24 hours to fully cure, but should I wait for full cure before sealing it off with the caulking? The glue holds within 30 seconds, but I'll be propping it up for a bit to make sure it holds in place since it a little heavy for grabbing and holding in that short of a time. Just wondering how long I should wait.

    Thanks in advance!

    thanks for the answer. I figured I would wait just to be safe. Glued it place last night, and I'll caulk it when I get home tonight.
