Default how long for it to attach?

So I picked up some gsp and I used an elastic to secure it to lr where i want it. My question is how long would you guess until i can cut the elastic off? the polyps are out but I was just wondering?

ya, crazy glue seems to work the best....take the coral and rock out, pat the rock and backside of the GSP "mat" dry with a towel....little dabs of glue in strategic locations on the rock and a light "press down" of the GSP and "bob's your uncle"......now the hardest part is keeping it from spreading

For me the elastic just blended in for me so I just left it. It seems as though the saltwater eats away at them or something chews them up over a month or so as I am finding broken ones rather often in my cube. I have an eggcrate frag rack that's built with elastics that I will need to rebuild soon as their all snapping or breaking down.
