Paint the pan today, but how long does it take to harden and cure?

Depends on the humidity, temperature, ventilation & how thick the coat is. Probably within 24 hours though. That is always when I apply the 2nd coat.

I put it on a thicker coat, maybe that is why its taking longer to dry.

Hope it dries with in 24-48 hours.

Temp is 90's

Humidity is very low here in the desert in Texas

Ventilation is good

If you plan on painting over it I recommend applying some primer while it is still tacky.

It's best to put 2 thin coats than 1 thick coat.

I already did the thick coat, so its to late now.

I hope that it dries by thursday?

I imagine you will be OK. Put a fan in the area.
