DIY Hide dry time?

I’m just about finished with a custom basking rock and hide for my dragon, but I’ve seen a lot of conflicting advice about dry times for sealant.
I used Minwax Polycrilic water-based over a top layer of grout. Some places say to give it a couple days to air out, but others say to give it up to three weeks before putting it under a heat source - does anyone have experience with this? I’ve not used this type of sealant before on anything that needed to be kept non toxic

I would say add the dry time for both together and before putting it in the enclosure put it under a heat source to see if emits a smell.

If you can still smell it putting off fumes, it's not fully cured. You can put it under a heat source if you want, but don't expose your dragon to it until its done off gassing.

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
