How long does solvite wallpaper paste take to dry?

The room’s a bit cold and not massively well ventilated, so I’m wondering if that slows things down compared to what it says on the packet. So I suppose the main question I have is can drying time for solvite paste change depending on the room?

"Hi,
Yes It normally dries in 12 hours if the room is warm and well ventilated.

If the room is damp you need to use heater and open window slightly
