Need quick answer - orca glue
 
How long does it take for this stuff to set??

While I'm waiting to answer my own question, I had to splice in some PVC parts on my return...how long until I can run water through it, and the answer needs to be less than a few hours :)

Oatey says 1 hour cure time before pressure testing, but I'm concerned about fumes and toxicity in tank...anyone have any idea how long to wait?

Brad I have done it like in 20 mins and had no negative effects

I waited an hour and turned it back on, no issues. Now feeding my reactor off the return pump and have a check valve installed.

be ready by then. toxics are usaly flashed off right away, but can you run some tap water through it to washg any residual away?
