tightbond II how log to set up?

[jason lambert]

I joined a oak cabnet together with tightbond II and I am out of clamps. So I need more clamps how log will it take for that stuff to dry before I can take off the clamps and how long till I can router the top which is 3/4 joined bords Dominoed?

25-30 minutes before removing clamps, although I leave mine on for an hour or more before removing and glue cleanup. Routing will depend on your own situation and profiles.

As Mark says; 30 - 60 minutes in the clamps. 24 hours to cure. This means you could glue up a 'thing' wait 30 60 minutes, remove from clamps and glue up the next. I write the day/time on pieces with chalk in multiple glue ups so I don't grab the one that's only set 2 hours and start in on it.

Doesn't it tell you in the label directions? As I recall, about 30 minutes in the clamps and 24-48 hours before stressing.

You know funny I didn't even look, silly me although the bottle is pretty gummed up I am going to go look now.

I guess the saying is try if all else fails read teh directions.

Directions? Read the directions!? What planet did you come from?:D

[jason lambert]

directions told me to clamp for a hour but said nothing about total set up time or if I could rout after an hour I would think you need to waite longer I am taking the above advice.

I think under the gunk there it says 24 hours to cure. I always wait that long before putting stress on the joins. :)
