I used GS to help strengthen a bond with superglue, and fill a gap at the same time. Of course there is a little excess sticking out of the gap. My question is, should I trim this excess off immediately, or wait for the GS to cure and then sand it down/trim it off?

Thanks a lot homies!

I'd say leave it until it's at least partially cured.

You don't want to upset the superglue bond by screwing around with it, and it will be easy enough to carve off tomorrow with a scalpel.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245968/802708.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245968/802708.page GMT Quick Green Stuff question - Time is of the essence! :)

QFT

if its in an easy to reach place just leave it and shave it down later, if its inside a crevase then work at it now.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245968/802719.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245968/802719.page GMT Quick Green Stuff question - Time is of the essence! :)
Luckily it is in a very easy to reach place, so trimming it down tomorrow shouldn't be a big deal at all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245968/802736.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245968/802736.page GMT Quick Green Stuff question - Time is of the essence! :) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245968/806862.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245968/806862.page GMT Quick Green Stuff question - Time is of the essence! :) GS in the freezer for about 36 hours and still had it relatively pliable - not particularly usable for sculpting, but ok for bulking out armatures or using on bases. I'd say probably around 12 hours is the longest I'd leave it and still expect to be able to do useful work with it.

Hope that helps
