How long until dry to screw bracket in?

Hi,

I did dot and dab and then skim coat at the weekend, its all gone light and only a few darker patches in some places.

When is it dry enough to tighten a bracket on the wall with coach screws going right through into the brick wall behind - for a radiator?

When doing the dot and dab I put s*it loads around the screws to make sure it would not flex the plasterboard and was solid.

Just tried tightning one bracket and it's cracked some of the plaster, bit of a crapper! not sure what i'm going to do about that one!

Is it still too soft? - although I probably answered my question :)

Cheers
