New paint dry time-decals&rub rail installation

Woodstock

Curious about Wooden Canoes
I have just finished painting my Old Town wood and canvas guide model.
I removed the rub rails before painting.
How long should I wait( in temperatures of 75 in the day and 50-60 at night with 50-75 % humidity more or less) before I install the rub rails and new Old Town decals.
I assume at least a week?
 
If you were in a rush I'd say the paint would set up well enough in two or three days. But giving it more time is always better. I always give it the fingernail test. If you can press your nail into the finish and it doesn't leave an indentation, you're probably good.
