I wouldn't recommend it, as Shoestring pointed out - it's best to have thejoints being horizontal. If they are vertical, gravity (it's the law) takes over and the solvent runs down creating weak joints. Plus if built in the stand, you can flip it over or around or route edges, etc.

Don't mean to make ya search some more but it was posted by Zephrant (for search criterion) and was posted several months (maybe a year ago)

It's going to depend on many factors; type of material, thickness, material temp, ambient air temp, dia of wire, type of solvent, etc., but rarely longer than 30 seconds, 15 seconds being about the average. It's more of a "feel" thing rather than using a stopwatch

HTH,
