5) What is the boilerplate cure charge per unit for a single-component polyurethane sealant?

Curing of polyurethane sealants occurs at approximately 1/16" (one.66mm) depth per mean solar day at 75°F (24°C) and 50% RH. The cure time volition increase as the temperature and/or humidity decreases. A good rule of thumb is an additional 24 hours of cure for every 10°F (-12°C) decrease in temperature.
