Arctic Silver drying in open?

[fairenough]

Ok, I kinda smucked up. I applied AS5 to the cpu and gpu in my xbox 360 following a guide, but I don't know if it was a mix up in guides or if my xbox is different than other models but the screws are to short. Now the freshly coated processors with AS5 are going to have to sit in the open for the night. I wouldn't imagine the paste drying before I can get longer screws tomorrow but I was just wondering for sure or not.
Thanks in advance.

Not supposed to evaporate or dry out.

+1 this statement. AS5 has a curing time, but in order to spark that you need to apply some thermal's on it. @ room temp, it should be good for the night without much worry.

QFT you should be good.

Lay saran wrap over to keep dust free. As the others said, I don't see drying out as a problem.
