I use TiteBond II and it says to clamp for 30 minutes but not to stress the joints for 24 hrs.
When building, I plan the build so that I can continue on another section while the one I just worked on is drying.

As was mentioned, I use 30 minute epoxy for high-stressed areas like the gear and wing mounts and the firewall/engine mount too.

I only use CA for CA hinges or when I have no other option. I ventilate my work area and wear a mask when I do. My chest hurt for a day once after using CA and I didn't know why until I read about it here on RCU.

Allfat, do yourself a favor and protect yourself now before you fall victim to it too. Please ventilate and/or wear a mask just in case. You may never experience the symptoms that others have but if you do you'll wish you had heeded my advice.
