20-minutes to molt. How long before new exoskeleton is hard enough to support spider's weight? (becomes active)

I didn't wait long enough to find out. Left after the last shot. By the time we were leaving at about midnight, I checked on it again and it was gone.

Thank you, Photog8. It was quite exhausting to photograph these. The spider was only about a foot from the ground. I had to be on one knee and lowered myself too to snap those shots.
The spider was spinning and moving with just the slightest breeze. But it was fun :D
