Not use it.

The paint needs a while to cure. It will take longer in cooler weather. If you use it then you will have the stuff you put inside it stick to the floor and damage the hard work you have done. In all honesty, if you need a van tomorrow then I would suggest you hire one for the day.

Thought that might be the best thing,

Agree with spruce and you shouldn’t start a sentence with ‘so’,  ??

When I protectacoted mine one February weekend. I gave it two coats, one on Saturday and one coat on Sunday, I just left an oil filled radiator over the weekend and it was back in service on Monday. I think the heat speeded up the curing process.

The smell will be quite strong for days yet and it might take till Friday for it to fully cure. I painted the lower half of my shed with garage floor paint in the heatwave we had and it took a few days to fully cure.
