Titebond wood glue: cure time and conditions

Titebond makes a range of water-based wood glues. Cure time is the time until the glue reaches full strength.

Cure time depends on the room. The manufacturer says damp or cool conditions need several days longer than warm, dry ones.

Titebond states that its water-based products may reach full strength in 24 to 72 hours under warm and dry conditions, but will require several days longer in damp or cool conditions.
