Nora:
     
        I would highly recommend consulting with your adhesive vendor.  
     They should be able to identify a time which would assure optimum 
     results of the adhesive after sitting idle.  I am sure it depends on 
     the environmental conditions of your facility (temperature and 
     humidity) with some adhesives.  If the vendor throws the ball back 
     into your lap then a DOE would be warranted.

Greeting All -
     
Is there a IPC standard which specifies the maximum amount of time allowed 
between adhesive application and its thermal cure?  Thanks in advance for 
your help.
     
Best Regards
