What is the rate of cure. I despise waiting on glue to cure.

It depends of the glue you use, PL Premium takes 5 days (I guess!).
I don´t know any others means to accelarete this process, and the heat can make bobbles...

If someone here discovers a way to do it, I guess we will give him the "WR Nobel",lol.

most of the curing would happen on the first day but a few more days will give 100%. i think with that sort of glue moisture accelerates the rate of cure. i think most glues take 1 day to reach 100%.

i know PL Premium cures very well in high humidity conditions,
so what i'd do is to get the spray mister (like Windex, window cleaner sprays) and spray the air around the bottle a few times, not neccesarily on the bottle. I'd spray 1-2 shots into the spliced bottle as well.
works for me :mrgreen:
