Hi Folks, Quick question. What is the optimal clamp time for fish glue? I glued the back to the rims yesterday, and left in the go-bar clamped throught the night. This morning I glued up the top. I am heading out for a business trip early tomorrow, and wanted to unclamp this evening - should that be ok (about 12 hrs)? Here is the back being glued: Attachment: Glueing Back onto Rims.jpg And the top: Attachment: Glueing top onto Rims.jpg Thx!! Glenn |

Ya, for fish glue you're good to unclamp after 4 hours. Don't stress any joints though for at least 12 hours, preferably18- 24. I usually clamp at night and the next night I'm good to go. |

The Lee Valley fish glue instructions say to clamp for 12 hours. |
