Yes I actually did use a hairdryer to help accelerate the outgassing process and then waited a few more weeks just to be safe. And just to clarify, this was for a master that I made a mold with, not a fishable bait.
Try hitting the bait with a hairdryer, once the wet look has gone away. I usually wait two hours after the final coat, and then hit it several times after that on the same day. Two days later it's ready to fish.
