i just glued my barrell together for my first pneumatic gun. i know you are supposed to wait 24 hours for the glue to cure completely but im too anxious to wait another day. since its the barrel i thought it might be ok if i only let it dry for like 3 or 4 hours. will it be ok if i test it after only 3 or 4 hours?

yeah, as long as your ammo isnt really tite fitting, youll be ok testing it after about 1 1/2 hours, stick with spuds until it cures, dont use any super tite battereys wrapped in duck tape

If you have a screw through the fitting into the barrel as a stopper for the ammo then you should be fine.

Yeah it's OK with barrels but if you do that with your chamber I'm glad I'm not you when it blows up. The good thing is if it blows apart you can re-use joints.

yeah i would never do that on a chamber. i just am on a barrel because it only holds pressure for a split second.

I used my Mini PB guns chamber after 80 minutes...
But note that I used a Top Grade cleaner, a top grade primer, and Rain Or Shine glue (which sets practically as fast as ABS glue (maybe 20 seconds for it to be way too hard to turn))
Barrels done with normal purple primer and "Regular" clear glue should be able to use in 2 hours...
