Just wondering how long everyone waits before unclamping/working with pieces glued with Tamiya Extra Thin cement?

If it’s something that has pressure on it and needs to be clamped I usually put it aside for at least a couple of hours. Better safe than sorry. Simple stuff like a seat glued to the floor of a cockpit I only wait a few minutes.

If it’s fidgety I’ll tack it in spots with superglue and come back with the thin stuff later to weld the seam for keeps.

I agree with CN. If it is a basic part, a few minutes will be more than enough. If it is a part that is fragile or in a tricky spot, the more time you give it to cure the better. I love the stuff! I also have a bottle of regular Tamiya cement on had. In case I want (or need!) a little more time with the parts. Hope this helps.
