-I'm only quietly saying this -
I've not used or played with that before but it looks far from the worse product to use.
Two parts usually rely much more on the chemical reaction than the evaporation to cure, some will set under water, I can't say how much of a dickhead they're being (but im not considering any exterior work for April)

Hodgesons rapid set.
It needs oxygen and moisture to cure.
Adhesion: Good to primed softwood and hardwood. Also good against steel.
Base technology: Drying oil
Curing system: Sets initially by loss of volatile components and reaction with hardener followed by reaction with oxygen in the air in the presence of moisture.
Mould Resistance: Good
Movement accommodation: <5%
Paintability: Must be painted as soon as the putty has formed a skin firm enough to accept the actions of overcoating. Apply the first coat typically within 4-5 days. The final coat should be applied within 28 days.
PROPERTIES
Application temperature range: +5°C to +30°C
Shelf life: 3 months when stored in original containers in cool, dry conditions. Some separation of oil may occur which should be mixed back into the putty before use
Skinning time: Skin forms after approximately 1 – 2 days, dependent on ambient temperature and humidity.
Working time: Approximately 1 hour. Do not mix more material than can be applied within this period.
