that sounds like a pretty long time to drain the cukes. i'd be
worried about something happening to them, or maybe absorbing too much
salt, or removing too much water. salting cukes (for various dishes),
i've mostly seen a period of an hour or so.

gotta say, though, that's a lot of ****ing tzatziki. best of luck.
