Drying time?

What would be the average drying time for a whitetail mount? How long should one wait before finishing the mount with paint? I'm new at this and want to learn all I can. Thanks

Three weeks

Normally two weeks for a tanned hide and two part epoxy hide paste. But over the years I have found three lets the skin do some adjusting. It wil give and take a little in the final week.
