How Long Do You Let Motoseal Setup Before Starting Saw

It all depends. On clamshells I let it sit overnight, on pro saws I let em rip after assembly. Just want to be cautious with the clamshell. It would probably be alright, but what is 6-8 hrs if you've got 13-14 saws....if you're building it for somebody, tell em to stop by later...

I agree with that. Lots of different angles, rounds, and materials being bonded together.
On cases or as a base gasket, the material is often <.001” thick against 2 machined surfaces. It doesn’t take that long to firm up. Plus, it’s only holding 2-3 psi of case pressure

Read the instructions, believe it states allow 24 hours.

It does say 24hrs, your right. On the package that my tube of motoseal came in it stated 24hours. The actual tube itself doesn’t say anything as far as time but the package sure did.

Yeah, it sure beats the heck out of having to tear the whole saw apart to get to the clamshell again..I've gotten to the age where I'm starting to slow down and dont rush anything...
