I just epoxied the board to the neck .
Using System 3 General Purpose and fretboard caul. Temp in shop averaging 75.
What's a good clamp time before I release them?
Thanks-
Rusty

Thanks Fillippo,
That's what I was thinking but wanted another opinion since the containers only listed gell & tack times but no cure times.

Anything stressed, be it epoxy or hide glue, waits for 24 hours. If ---you--- can't wait that long, then ---you--- need a different hobby....

With epoxy, I always just wait until the excess that I mixed is good and hard.

I use System 3 T88 and wait until the left over epoxy in the mixing dish is hard, usually overnight. As with Philippo you can't rush clamp time, better too long than short.

Thanks all,
