Final touches to finish

I am finishing up a table currently and am nearing a final rubout stage.
I have never really done a rubout of a finish and had a question on topcoat curing.

My finishing schedule was:
2 applications of dye to get to a desired color
1 coat of Amber Shellac
Bartley's Gel Varnish/BLO/oil colors as a glaze coat
2 coats of Arm-r-seal sanding in between

I am wanting to do a final rubout with wax and steel wool.

How long do I need to wait for the Arm-r-seal to cure before I start rubbing out?

Thanks,
Josh

30 days for varnish.

Which Arm-r-seal product did you use? It may change my answer.
