if it's getting baked then it's dry when it comes out. As far as the curing

that will depend on who you talk to. Some people say 3 weeks, some say 3 months. Just don't wash it for a couple of weeks and then when you do, make sure you are using a brand new soft material and go in lateral strides, don't wash in a circular motion. That will keep the swirls down.
