Plumber's putty takes several hours to dry. If the repaired surface is used before the putty has completely dried, the process has to be done again. Touching the putty periodically is the best way to see if it has set.
Putty is a quick and inexpensive fix to plumbing issues. Putty can be found at any hardware store. It is used during the installation of sinks, drains and pipes.
