I would move on to a different sealant that has an "instant" seal. I end up using either teflon tape or Titeseal compound, which is non-hardening. Mainly, because that's always handy. I don't like putting in a pipe plug completely dry. Those things can get difficult to remove if installed dry.
Good advice... reality is, one of the main reasons for using Teflon tape, is as an aid to help prevent a froze plug / a plug that does not want to come loose.

My go to these days is Pink Teflon. Is not negatively impacted by the fluid and it is far denser then lats say yellow Teflon I used to use..

Had to LOL just now.... I have Valvoline 75/140 pouches being delivered today from Amazon.

SO, I just asked Alexa, "Where's my stuff" ...

.........Alexa replies /says ---> a package with gear oil will be delivered today by 9pm ..

....THEN ---> she goes on to tell me that it is recommended to remove the fill plug on the differential before removing the drain plug... she says this info was based on a customer review..

Even Alexa is spewing diff fluid replacement hints...

If only Alexa could answer all the Jeep JL battery related questions from this forum with brevity and clarity, that would be something 🤓

Yes that was my sarcastic point. A few people including you have answered correctly and repeatedly before the new wave of self appointed ”exspurts” arrived.
