After applying the final coat of urethane on my snakeskin limbs how long do I need to let it dry before I can string it up an shoot?

Look at the directions on the product you use.  I use Minwax polyurethane and it has a 3 day cure time.

I wait at least 2 days in the sun if possable 3 if you do'nt have a place.You can get by with a shorter time. But there's no going back now why take the chance AND HURRY.

Yeah I'm not gonna rush it I jus wasn't sure if I needed to let it cure for a couple weeks or a couple days.  I had planned on waiting about a 5 or 6 days but was jus making sure I didn't need to wait longer. I got too much time in it to screw it up by shooting it too soon.  One more question. When I start shooting an the limbs bend how does the snakeskin react to that?
