Just did rear diff...now what?

I just removed my rear diff cover, cleaned out all the old gunk and cleaned up the old red gasket material. I used a brass brush and carb cleaner to clean all the surfaces. I put a thin bead of permatex red on both halves then put them together. Right now all the bolts are finger tight. How long should I wait until I tighten them up all the way and put new oil in? The permatex label says 24 hours to cure. Will I have to wait that long to fill it up and drive my Jeep?

thanks
