If you used Titebond, they recommend an unstressed joint remain clamped for 24 hours.
I removed my clamp after 24, but like you, was still working on the finish so I knew the joint would well and truly set by the time I was ready to string it up.

Ahem. Titebond recommend 24 hours clamping for a stressed joint. Unstressed is 30-60 minutes. They don't recommend stressing a joint within 24 hours of removing the clamps.Originally Posted by McCreed
As McCreed says, you'll normally have loads to do after you've glued the neck in before the guitar gets strung up and the neck joint stressed, so plenty of time for the glue to set fully.
Yeah, I got my wires crossed. It was the not stressing for 24 hours is what I had in my head.
