Working time, clamping time and full cure time. For instance, Titebond Original has a 5 minute working time, a 30 minute clamp time is recommended for an unstressed joint (sometimes the manufacturer will also give a recommendation for clamping time for a stressed joint - often the full cure time), and 24 hours for a full cure.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You have given me two of the time parameters - working time and full set time.
