ajlafleche makes a good point. The Tenax itself will be dry in no time, but it creates a weld by melting the adjoining surfaces and they bond together. Tenax isn't a glue in the sense that CA or epoxy or tube glue is. By itself, it has no bonding power, but it causes the plastic to melt and bond. When doing wings or fuselage seams, a small bead of melted plastic will form along the seam if you have applied a little pressure during the bonding application. Sanding this off when it has hardened eliminates the seam, which is the big advantage of using Tenax. As long as the melted plastic has hardened, it's safe to file &/or sand.
