Letting Bondo sit around unpainted for 10 days would allow it to absorb moisture.
Not one body shop in the USA does that.

That would also make any repair at a pro body shop require a 2 week turnaround.
Not the case.

Body shops also use UV bake lights to reduce drying time to 20 mins.
They also use hardners in the paint, so curing time is days, not months, like in the old days.
