depends what type of filler u use dont it. should say on the tin. i would leave it at least 2 days in this weather unless u want it all to collapse. i also recommend not trying to do it in one go, if u want it to be good, build it up in gradual layers or it will be crap basically

use p40 first, you only want too use the smallest amount of p38 cos p38 shrinks and it will crack.
