I know it say's 15 min. But how long do you have to wait before it is safe to work with something. I am glue up acrylic parts and it is my first time using it.

Thanks for the help.

Well the answer seems to be about 1 1/2 to 2 hours for cutting and working with the band saw. I think that I might want a little longer say 3 or 4 before I would start turning. But am not sure on that. Again this is on acrylic.

Andy may I say WELL DONE! Give you just the right amount of working time and sets up strong enough in a time frame that will alows you to get things done. I also like that it is a little thicker paste. I was able to get a nice even thin layer. I LIKE!

It should always set up in about the same time regardless of the material you're using it on. But temperature will affect the set up time. Warmer - short, cooler - longer.

Alan,
It's safe to actually fish with a rod built with the 15 in about 20-25 minutes. As for gluing acrylic parts to be turned, I would wait 45 minutes or so just to be safe, because when you turn something you build up a lot of heat that could potentially wreak havoc with the cure cycle.
