I waited 48 hours when I made mine. The glue may say, also what kind did you use?

I'm assuming it's an epoxy resin? If it was me...I'd wait a few days after you can no longer smell any fumes from the resin...better safe than sorry, IMO.

Actually, Weld-On is a solvent, not an epoxy. It works by quickly welding or melting the acrylic together. I usually wait at least 24 hours to to a pressure test on the new tank. Then, if all is well, it is then put into use. :)
