David,
With any type epoxy - including rod bond - I would wait at least a week before I would attempt anything like drilling and tapping the epoxy.

Sure it will set up and get hard in 24 hours, but for something like tapping, I certainly like to let the glue set long enough to be as hard as it is ever going to get.

p.s.
If I were going to be doing drilling and tapping and wanted to actually screw in a fastner to hold something solid, I might even consider the use of something like JB weld. An epoxy like JB weld is formulated exactly for use by drilling and tapping.

Take care
