Titebond III dry time

Just glued some hickory backing to an osage board and was just wondering when it cures and becomes workable.

I always leave it at least 24 hours, often much longer, 2 or 3 days.
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

24 hours for the glue to cure and another 3 days to a week for the moisture from the glue to evaporate.

don't rush it, that is why you need 3 or 4 bows going at once!!
