Allow the caulk to dry for 24 hours.

Condensation dripping from a ceiling vent can have detrimental effects on the ceiling material surrounding the vent, as well as carpeting and furnishings sitting under the vent. The condensation forms when air of a different temperature meets the grill box and duct connecting the vent to the air conditioning unit. Keeping the temperature of the metal connected to the grill close to the ambient air temperature will eliminate the damaging effects of condensation.
