How long do I let my new enclosure air out?

The enclosure is 6 x 3, and the inside is waterproofed with sheet vinyl and silicone aquarium sealant. The silicone does have a smell to it, so my question is how long should I wait to transfer my little guy to his new home?

Your pics are too big for me to open here, but I can tell you that silicone cures in 48 hours.

I upload mine to a picture site so they aren't thumbnails. Tinypic.com is free and easy to use. Just upload any size photo then copy/paste the IMG code into your forum post. You don't need and account or anything.

Aquarium sealants sets up in 48 but I usually give it about a week to make sure it gets a full cure before I let water or moisture come in contact with it. smell usually dissipates around two three days after its been applied
