iPod Invisible Shield wait time

I know the invisible shield instructions say wait 24 hours after applying before using the iPod. However, mine sits right before me, screaming my name. You see, it is a virgin, it has nothing on it yet. I can't see any visible water on it anywhere, would it be okay to power it up in say, 3-5 hours?

Yeah that sounds like a safer bet. I actually accidentally turned it on when I was playing with my camera connector for it, I didn't think it would come on since it was on hold. Nothing happened, so I guess no problem. I did turn it off though.
