Hi guys, Im always concerned with dry / cure time when I'm gluing, I dont want to un-clamp too soon. This time of year my shop is about 65*, 35% humidity and I'm using Titebond. I just glued a top on. How long before I can un-clamp and work with this assembly ?? I want to glue the back on next. Gregg |

If you didn't ovrglue you can unclamp after 30 minutes, 24 hours for full strength. I'd just leave it clamped overnight. |

Important glue ups? Overnight. Don't rush it. Oh wait! They're all important! |

When I do a body I alow about 15 minutes clean off the runs and then do the top. I like to do the back first then the top. I then reclamp the back and the top and allow it to set overnight . After about 10 minutes the glue does tack well enough but I do like to allow the joint to be clamped an hour min. |
