how long does araldite take to dry ?

[grantlowery]

Ive just re- tipped my cue and ondered how llong it takes to dry?

The classic stuff should be left 24 hours for a complete cure, unless it's one of the faster varients in which case it should be clear from the label (probably 5 or 10 minutes, double that to be safe).

Can't say I've ever used araldite to tip a cue though, I normally use superglue gel or occasionally tip cement (ordinary superglue seems to do the best job). Good luck with it.

I used to use araldite and its decent to use for putting tips on with. I would say leave it at least 20 minutes to be on the safe side. Only thing I didn't like about it was having to prepare the 2 solvents every time and mixing them together, its such a waste of glue its easier and cheaper to use superglue gel.

It would take 24hrs, as Rob said. Dont you get that super fast sticking thing? It sticks within a few seconds. I always use that and I have never had a problem with it.

during last night's qualifying round of china open, according to GSC one of the match is taking 15 min break since someone's tip fell off, which means they only need 15 minutes to fix the tip? and the tip is acctually is good enought to play?

You're probably best using a super-glue, Loctite if you can get it in OZ, as many of the super-glues don't bond leather too well. loctite is VERY reliable, and, does not rot the timber, make it brittle, make the tip go hard or make you grow another head, as all the horror stories would have you believe.

I've probably tipped thousands of cues over the last fifteen years or so without any issues using this stuff.

you can trust it.......and me.
