    I usually leave them overnight, depends on the epoxy used, some can be turned turned within the hour but I still leave overnight.

    Overnight for me too. It would be a shame to lose a special blank because the epoxy wasn't cured enough. I always have a few "ordinary" blanks pre-glued so I'm not tempted to take shortcuts.
