Glue Time For Laminate Top

[vaxination]

when i glue a laminate top over my body wood i usually wait 24 hrs before unclamping. i once heard that 2 hours is enough. since i am usually not in a hurry 24 hrs works ok for me. however, i am curious... how long do you folks wait to take off your clamps?

If it's a completely no-stress joint (didn't have to force anything in place), half an hour. Usually, about 1 to 1.5 hours, and if it's under strain, overnight (so, 12-15 hours or so). I don't ever stress the joints for 24 hours, though, regardless.
