   Basically just tigersealed my side skirt on...it's held on by masking tape for now while it sets for a bit and it's sunny and about 23 degrees out..how long should it take to set before i can drive it around safely and take the tape off? Need the car in the evening and would have done it another day but im working all week.

   I don't see how leaving the tape on for 24 hours would be a problem. Should have bought new clips :/

   I'd leave it overnight, but as said you need it in the evening.. so just duct tape the shit out of it, and drive it when needed.
   
   Then take tape off tomorrow (Y)

   Alright then.
   Yeah i know, i bought new clips but the holes for the clips are fucked...god knows what the previous owner did to them...
   
   I've only got masking tape from when i sprayed some parts, that still be strong enough? :/

   Duct tape left on for 24 hours wouldn't damage paint at all?

   Like i said this is the only evening I have free as I work evenings/nights so this is the only opportunity I would have to do it for a few weeks and the skirts already been off for over a month and tbh looks fucking ridiculous
