Hi all. Sealing up a drafty window today and going to fill around it with Great Stuff window and door sealer.
How long should I wait Before reinstalling the window trim?? I'm worried that if I slap it right back up that the foam won't fully cure properly. Just wondering if this can be done all same day. Thx
 
The foam will cure. The bigger issue would be if you put a lot in there, it could push the trim off or leak out around it as it expands.

That's true. I think ill foam it and just wait at least an hour or two
 
I'm sure you've already put the trim back on but waiting until its hardened is the best option. The door/window stuff is low expansion but until that stuff is hard I don't trust it not to move a little.
