From memory, touch dry within a couple of hours depending on ambient temp, can be reassembled after 24h and completely cured after about a month (again depends on ambient temp. Personally I would leave it after spraying for at least 3 or 4 days before reassembling as I managed to put a couple of marks in an action when reassembling a rifle after 1 day. If that time is not practical, just be really careful.
