Hi Robert,

5200 is very slow...this is normal.

Since it is a moisture cure, you can give it a light misting with a sprayer, or even add a humidifier to the room, and this will speed things up a bit.

If you need any more, use the 5200 Fast Cure, or even Sikaflex 291, both have tack times of 1 hour and cure times of 24 hours.
