Personally, I'd wait as long as possible. *In general* solvent bonded joints reach 90% strength in about 24hrs, 95% strength in about 72hrs, and full strength in 7-14 days. I know you're not gonna wait that long though
Give it 24hrs and then have a go at it. But, if you can still smell the solvent in 24hrs, give it another 24 - hope this make sense.

FWIW, I wait at least a week before I ship anything.
