It is a slow process -- the primary liquid is linseed oil -- and I have no idea when the cement is completely dry. The window is cleaned up within three days -- the oozing has generally stopped within a day or two.
Linseed oil can polymerize and the reaction is exothermic, and rags soaked in it can ignite spontaneously.
Rags soaked with linseed oil stored in a pile are considered a fire hazard because they provide a large surface area for oxidation of the oil, and the oil oxidizes quickly.
It appears your using 4mil nitrile glove, which seems appropriate.

Excellent use of the filtering face piece. It'd be nice to see some safety glasses with side shields.
