Narrative:

On mar/mon/05 at approximately XA00; I applied the aerodynamic sealant to the L-1 window. The sealant appeared to be curing. My shift ended and I clocked out and went home. The job ws signed off as complete; but the sealant had not cured yet. The following day; a flight crew reported vibration from that window. It was not properly secured.
