It depends a lot on humidity, but on average overnight should do the trick. I’d give it 24 hours to be sure, also depending on what’s been glued with it, something porous or hard… It might be best to give porous surfaces 36 hours. For hard wood, I dilute it 50/50 with water. Works great.


The drying time for Elmer's glue can vary depending on factors such as the thickness of the glue application, humidity levels, and temperature. In general, it usually takes about 24 hours for Elmer's glue to fully dry. However, it's a good idea to allow for additional drying time if the glue layer is particularly thick or if the environmental conditions are not ideal for drying, such as high humidity or low temperatures.
