Yes, don't use the brown expanding stuff. Use the clear stuff. The instructions on the bottle say you can remove any clamps after 2-hours. Full cure in 24.
You only need to wait 2-hours if you're really in a hurry to true a set of tires. There's always other things to do on the car while the glue dries such as... have lunch, coffee, take a shower, etc.
I have since got into the habit of glueing the wheels and tires as soon as I get them. I'll work on the entire build a few days later. I'll buy a dozen pairs of wheels/tires and glue them all in one sitting. Then eventually use them all up when I figure out what cars go on the workbench next. That's why I have that funny pic with all those wheels/tires.
I'm certain your system works well for you, Kevan.
So long as it works. I have never had a failure yet.
