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.

The basking side of my tank isn't getting up to the suggested 100degrees. Does that mean I need to get a new basking light?
does her poop look healthy?
In your perspective does my baby bearded dragon look healthy or unhealthy? Does she look bloated? she is active and eats very well also she is in her basking spot all day
